Aye, I would be. I haven't ridden my 76a in over a year but plan have it back the road April ish. Have a K9 rear shock in and am looking at doing something with the front end.

I have looked at using ZXR 400 internals on mine which gets you preload and rebound but not compression adjustment.

Nice one, my projected riding date has been pushed back due to getting run over while crossing the road on Wednesday! Can at least score that one off the bucket list now.

Did you get this together? I'm about to take a chance on a cheap set of GSXR 600 K6 fork springs. They are the same dimensions as the 76A ones, might throw in a cheap pair of emulators as well and see how it goes.

Its not that hard to make these ones fit if you know someone with a lathe.
