Failing Yamaha which aftermarket ones to go for?

Re: RD500 493mm Replacement Fork Springs
Personally, I don’t like progressive fork springs and prefer linear. The fork compression action is progressive anyway due to the volume of air that is compressed.
I have bought from Sonic Springs in the US, who can make to any dimensions. Maybe give them a try and you can choose a spring rate to give proper static sag?
