Must have been the spring brand. I used an Eibach 6.0, and it fit with clearance. My bike is an '06 like his. I tried a Race Tech 6.4 which fit with clearance on my '06, but that spring was too stout. I went back to the 6.0.

I went with Cogent Dynamics. I have the DDC valving and Springs up front.

Night and day compared to stock.

I went with a Cogent spring @ the rear as well, easy drop-in replacement. Front has been ordered. I'm going to ride the bike with just the new springs before proceeding with any valving changes, to get a better idea of what I need before blindly changing things.
