Would this have any effect?
« on: May 10, 2016, 03:32:12 PM »
Just wondering if this could help with the horrible experience i get with stock springs in the front on NYC roads.

"Horrible experience" isn't descriptive with regard to the solution you're asking about.  What is the problem you're trying to solve?

 It will not improve suspension action one bit , will only slightly increase or decrease the effective spring rate .

Send the forks to Traxxion Dynamics and have them rebuilt?  They are quite expensive, but definitely well-regarded.

For about the same money, you can get progressive rate fork springs. Those, and a change of fork oil weights, will do a lot more to tame the front end.
