Edit: Drags has just informed the 515-31 springs are now back in stock !
My outer valve springs in my VHA have sagged from 66mm to 60 and the inner sagged as well.
Drags said the VS422 kit was out of stock so I ordered another kit that contains the 515-31 outer spring and ordered 2 inners.
Basically the 515-31 is out period !!! Allan at the singles spares also confirms NO springs.
Lee has offered a set of HS springs when they arrive as I know have a MKlll cam in the VHA.
Re-using my sagged springs is not an option now
All my sources have come up blank .
Riding season is getting close here in Ontario and I would like the ol gal ready. It gets used a lot !
Another other source for 515-31 springs?
Thanks guys

Re: 515-31 Valve springs
Certainly in the UK there are several places that will make one off or even 2 off springs. As long as they know the original length of the springs they can copy your old ones. I wouldn't use the HS springs unless you are going to be revving the nuts of it as there is no point and they will only increase valve train wear.

Hi Ian,
I have two new 515-31 springs on hand that I won't be needing in the near future and could sell them to you if you can't find another supplier.

just this morning Drag informs me the 515-31 are now back in stock and should be on their way shortly.
Thanks again Chris for the offer.
