#1 | Fork spring upgrades? datum

I'm going to have the fork oil and seals changed before a trip this summer. I've heard there are springs available that upgrade the suspension. Wondering if I should stay with stock springs, have stock springs replaced or upgrade to a heavier spring system when getting it serviced.

What say the members on my idea of upgrading the springs while have the work performed. If so, what springs would people recommend and where might one find them here in the US? Bike will have 30K on it at service,

What price should I expect for servicing the forks and replacing oil and seals?

Thanks in advance

The mind is the limiting factor

For springs in the US I would get in touch with Race Tech. You're going to need all up weight of the bike, you and any gear.
