hi all, 76 R90/6, 28K miles. third owner. still has the stock springs on the rear, previous owner put progressive springs on the front forks.
was thinking about giving myself a suspension upgrade this year and wanted to weigh in what a good cost-effective improvement would be. i usually ride solo (my girlfriend wants to ride with me more but it never really happens all too often), typically with one bag carried on my back. multiple camping trips per year where i've strapped gear to the rear rack and a bag strapped down across the back part of my seat. i did pick up period-correct krauser racks and panniers over the winter that i plan on slapping on and using this coming riding season for camping adventures (however adventurous they may be, given the circumstances). mostly city riding but get out for longer trips around NY often.
what brand should i consider? used vs brand new? thanks for any feedback all.
