[QUOTE="davidd, post: 176170, member: 1177"] A very interesting find! The addition of internal springs happens quite a lot, but the third spring shows it was not an engineered solution. With nested springs, the practice is usually to reverse the winding of each spring so the coils are unable to truly "nest" in between an adjoining spring as that could possibly change the motion of each spring. The manufacturer wants to know if the springs are "left wound" or "right wound". One of the advantages of coil-over shocks is that you can adjust the ride height of the bike because the pre-load is limited rather than unbound, like the stock Vincent springs. The rear springs are semi-limited, but the pre-load remains non-adjustable. The best handling can be obtained by using coil-over shocks front and rear. [ATTACH type="full"]60859[/ATTACH] At least you can set the front and rear ride height. David [/QUOTE]
