Bedford Rascal Springs

Post by ianedwards » Fri Jul 18, 2014 2:06 pm

Afternoon,

Has any one used Bedford Rascal Springs on thier suzukis ?

Im thinking about useing tham on the rear of my kja, they look a bit more heavy duty than the ones that are on it now, as thay look a bit sick.

do you think this is a good idea? Any Advice?

Cheers

Ian

I think its quite a popular conversion... if you can find the rascal springs.
I think they are getting to be a bit few and far between nowadays

Yea, they look a bit more substantial than what's on it, and with the extra weight of the beefed up back I'm thinking it might be a good choice,

Are they pretty much a swap or is there some modding involved?
