I've got a VB&P dual-mount waiting to go in. Got one helluva deal on it on eBay.

Using this spring in my 81....quite nice. Shop around to get the best price. I had Eckler's almost match, within $15 of the lowest price I found. I was ordering other parts at the time from Eckler's. Muskogien Brake (I have no idea how to spell their name) had the best price.

I just installed the 330# from VBP. Nice ride. Not harsh at all but not too soft either.
