I'm currently double checking these shock absorbers in my store and I'm
very much in doubt about some of them. I seem to have three different spring
sizes (see image), but BL requires them to be either "soft" or "normal". So
I guess the ones on the left are "soft" and the ones on the right are "normal",
but what about the ones in the middle? Juding by the number of winds visible
they seems to be somewhere in between.

Help is appreciated.

/Jan

I fear these springs are still a mess despite the fact that many have been sorted
out with inventory changes...see also

all sets after 2003 are soft

These two statements seem to contradict each other because LBG is post-2003.

all LBG are soft.
all sets after 2003 are soft
all sets before 1997 are normal

they all seems normal to my eys

data:
soft = can sustain MORE than 600g
normal = can sustain LESS than 550g
yo, soft can hold more.

But they can't be all be normal because in the picture, the ones on the left
are LBG while the others are LG. And you say that LBG must be soft.

1 out of my 34 parts seems harder than the rest although it doesn't look
different from some of the soft feeling ones.

Simply said, we don't know any LBG 731 made with old "normal spring".

Also my eyes perceive old gray, so I needed you to state what colours are there.

I'm here to help, just give us more data of them

The left ones are LBG, the middle and right ones are LG.

I have decided to sell the LBGs as "soft" and the other ones as "undetermined".
Problem solved.
