    I have a first gen model and yes, it's a stronger spring than perhaps it needs to be - but I've never thought of it as THAT stiff

    Mmmm...originality not important then? (the replacement spring route retains this)

    How does replacing the original spring with one from another manufacturer maintain originality?

    TBH a spring is a spring in any event so it really does not matter - neither does cutting down the original.

    its easy. cut off the first two coils at each end. then get them red hot and recrompress. then get them red hot again and dip in oil.
    Ohh. dont forget to file off any sharp ends.
    the only thing i can find wrong is the nut on the steering wheel.
