im getting ready to put heavy duty springs in my stock forks and was wondering what kind of grease i should use on the the new springs.

thanks

pretty much any grease. I used white lithium.. all the grease does is keep the springs from vibrating and whatnot.

Idk .., I always use water proof grease ..
The grease keeps everything move'n smoothly and it also keeps the internals from rusting ..

yea they bolt right on to a 50, you just have to re drill your frnt fender to bolt it on, and you have to make a bracket of some sort to mount the brake cable to the forks, (or just dont run front brakes haha)
