New Secondary spring from Thunder?

[Beerman]

I just read in the back of Snowtech about Lonn's new "Tuff Guy" secondary spring. I know there are a couple "insiders" (yes NOS-Pro and Shagman, I'm talking about you) on here - what do you guys know?

 

[Dieselxtx]

I know it works on the tar can't wait for them to come out production!

 

[**sj**]

to me the test of a secondary spring is the trail riding ...in and out of the throttle..

 

[Dieselxtx]

Very true but pull after pull to 135mph and no blown belts will prove they solved the coil bind issues we will have to wait and see

 

[**sj**]

I thought I read dalton did the measurements and the secondary soing had .100 clearance left in...I think the stock spring is too soft...Ive been using a cat spring with good luck..but don't like the clocking so am happy to have other options

 

[krm]

I got one on order

 

[Snowaddict]

If we already have had the secondary machined for coil bind is there a benefit in getting a different spring?

 

[Dieselxtx]

I ran .05 to .1 faster in the quarter with this spring compared to my stock spring and my helix was shimmed so yes there is a benefit the rate is slightly different I don't know what it is call Lon and he will have more info on it.

It's supposed to be a secret until finalized, so those guys are hush hush for now...but yes there is something in the works. A little bird told me. We'll call this bird a "Lonningbird"...

It isn't a secret when there's a photo and paragraph of it in SnowTech, unless . . . you mean there's something else coming . . .

It WAS a secret last week. Last i talked to him, he was waiting on supplier

Ah ah. Maybe the mag was supposed to hit a little closer to HayDays. Regardless - I'm stoked to try it. I was all set to remove the shims and have the secondary properly machined until I saw this, now I'll wait. Lonn will be a busy guy at Haydays and I'll be in line at his booth to get one!

he talks about secondary springs breaking...has anyone seen this?

I don't remember seeing any secondary breaks on here last year either, plenty signs of binding though. Primary breaks, yes.

There was only .010 clearance. Thats not enough.
