Keep in mind Geo's comments refer to his G20.
I have the Valley Spring OE-style prototype 300/200 on my Classic. They
have less than a one inch drop. I kept the original bumpstops. I don't
believe I have experienced coil bind or bottoming. I feel the front rate
is quite acceptable for a street ride but think that 200 lb/in is a bit
stiff for the lightly loaded rear. I would spec, maybe, 150 or 175 lb/in
rear. Yes, this will exacerbate understeer; get the Nu-Tech rear sway bar
or the Progress full set to tune weight transfer to your liking.
My tuppence.
