RE: [ST] RS & racetech

When you look at öhlins they have the same front fork spring kit for the
RS as the ST. You'll find their recommendation table here:

Why not go with Öhlins?

If you have replaced your fork springs, which ones did you go with and
why.  
I remember reading awhile back that someone decided to use the 1k
springs, 
but my mechanic (at the local dealer, who admits he has never done this
sort 
of work on a triumph) says that that is much too stiff.  Any comments or

suggestions?

Sean
