I going to go through the forks this off season and install gaiters, I installed .95kg/mm Race tech fixed rate in the Honda St1300 which I really liked the outcome and I was thinking of using the .90kg/mm for the LT.
I prefer fixed rather than progressive.
Any thoughts?

I've been considering the same, but it's low on my priority list at the moment. I did find these as a fixed rate option, but haven't seen anyone mention trying them nor do I have any personal experience with the company:

Just figured I would mention them as an option despite any first hand experience since we're not exactly overwhelmed with options. I'd be very interested in hearing feedback if you do give them a try.
Good luck. _________________ Niemand

Works Performance (now Worx Shocks) used to make dual rate springs (normal for regular riding but then stiffer when the forks get compressed) that are good.
I don't see them listed on their website but they've just recently come back into business and haven't completed their web site so it might be worth dropping them an email to see if they still offer them.

When it was time to replace the suspension on the K, I contacted the late Jim Lindemann at Lindemann Engineering (of race suspension fame). He figured linear would be better than progressive for the K11 - that's what I went with - no regrets.
For the K75RTP, I went with HyperPro springs. _________________ Jim
