Before buying Hyperpro's springs for my Breva 1100 (a Norge front fork like), I need advices. A rock french rear shock is on mine, EMC Sportshock 1 Cheaper than Öhlins, better than oem Sachs !
So,
Option 1, get hyperpro application list : SP-MG12-SSA001 OR Option 2, to choose the extra 1200 Sport : SP-MG12-SSA002
Knowing Todd's notice :
Mon Sep 05, 2011 9:53 am They will fit/work fine. Here in the States, HP USA has two versions, one for the Breva 1100/Norge 1200, and a slightly stiffer version for the 1200 Sport (2V only verified so far)
My weight is around 87 kg geared, and sometimes I ride with a passenger (63 kg geared), a tank bag, two side cases and top case.
My driving style is "sport touring". I ride mostly on small roads or mountain roads (eg the Alps). Never highways or expressways. Even less in the city.
I hope these informations will help you in my choice between the two Hyperpro fork springs I can fit on my B11.

Vince, so you are right on the edge. If you prefer a softer ride, get the Norge springs, if you prefer it a littler more firm (and based on you do mainly small/mountain roads, I'd probably recommend the 1200 Sport springs). I will soon offer a full kit for ~$400 US that includes new springs, valving spacer, aluminum spacer and new pre-load caps as shown below.

Unfortunately, a $400 device is far too expensive for me. Here, in France, Hyperpro springs kit cost 134 euros (circa $173) including shipment. So, i'm forced to purchase the cheaper one due to "my wallet size".
I thank you once again.
Oh, by the way, so far no response to my question coming from Hyperpro. Dutchmen are very busy !
I'm curious about that kit, and I have two main questions.
1, what do the "flow regulators" do? Is it an emulator kit? It doesn't look like you have rebound or compression damping adjustability. Is this the only kit that manufacturer makes that will fit the Breva 1100?
2, will the fork spring rate be customized to the riders weight?
Just to confirm, the fork springs for the 2v 1100 Breva, Norge 1200 & 1200 Sport are all interchangeable? The 1200 Sport fork uses a cartridge type fork versus the damper rod in the Breva / Norge, so i thought they would not be interchangable.
I am wondering if I could soften up the front ride of my 1200 Sport by installing Norge fork springs.

The flow regulator is essentially an emulator. Much simpler in design, but it works quite well. The spring rate will be spec'd to the riders weight, yes. Thanks, long recovery road ahead, but progress has been good so far.

The springs are interchangable, as well as one could swap all of the internals. But you are correct in that the B11/N12 are damper rods (kit above only), and the 12S needs to be re-valved... something I do offer. Soften the ride? How much do you weigh? What's your sag set to? You've tried adjusting the compression/rebound damping under the fork caps?
