Race Tech High Performance 1.30kg Fork Springs - Harley Touring
About Race Tech
Race Tech has been re-valving and re-springing motorcycle suspension since 1985, with Gold Valve emulators and custom-rate springs that let a rider dial damping to their actual weight and riding style rather than a factory average.
Race Tech high-performance fork springs, rated at 1.30kg/mm, are engineered to provide balanced and predictable handling for Harley riders. These springs are designed to match the demands of riders seeking a firmer, more controlled front end.
Why riders pick this
- Chrome silicon wire construction for superior durability
- Shot-peened and heat-treated to resist sacking out
- Maintains accurate spring rate with no fatigue
- High stiffness-to-mass ratio for responsive handling
- Provides balanced and predictable front-end feel
For riders who push their Harley-Davidson Touring bikes harder, carry significant loads, or simply prefer a much firmer front suspension, the 1.30kg/mm Race Tech fork springs are a critical upgrade. Stock springs often fall short, leading to excessive front-end dive under braking and a 'wallowing' sensation in corners. These springs provide the necessary support, allowing your fork to operate within its optimal range, translating to a more confident and engaging ride.
Unwavering Consistency and Durability
- Crafted from premium chrome silicon wire for exceptional strength
- Shot-peened and heat-treated to prevent fatigue and 'sacking out'
- Maintains consistent spring rates over time for reliable performance
- High stiffness-to-mass ratio contributes to responsive handling
- Engineered for a balanced and predictable front-end feel
The Foundation of a Performance Front End
Upgrading to the correct spring rate is the first step in unlocking your Harley's full handling potential. These 1.30kg/mm springs are ideal for heavier riders or those with an aggressive riding style. For the ultimate front-end transformation, consider pairing these springs with Race Tech Gold Valve Cartridge Emulators, which allow for fine-tuning of both compression and rebound damping, creating a truly custom-tailored suspension setup.

Common questions
How do I know if 1.30kg/mm is the right spring rate for my bike?
Race Tech offers over 500 spring rates. Your ideal rate depends on your weight, riding style, and whether you frequently carry passengers or luggage. Heavier riders and aggressive riding typically require higher rates like these for proper sag and handling.
Will these springs improve my bike's handling?
Yes. Proper spring rates eliminate the unbalanced, unpredictable feel caused by under-springing, allowing the suspension to work as designed. You'll experience less brake dive and better control.
Do these springs 'sack out' or lose their rate over time?
No. Thanks to shot-peening and heat treatment during manufacturing, these Race Tech springs are highly resistant to fatigue and 'sacking out', ensuring they maintain their rated performance for many years and miles.
