Spring, 130 Ibs. Red/Orange
A 130 lb rated Girling rear suspension spring, color-coded red/orange, fitted inside the rear shock units.
This is a Girling rear suspension spring, marked 130 lbs and identified on the shelf and in the parts book by its red/orange color coding. It's one of the pair that lives inside the rear suspension units, the coil springs you're looking at when you glance down at the shocks on either side of the rear wheel.

The color coding is how the factory and the trade have always sorted spring rates without having to measure anything - red/orange means this one's the 130 lb rate, so if you're trying to match up a spring or figure out what's currently on the bike, that stripe is your quickest reference.
It shows up across catalog entries from 1964 through 1968 under the SWINGING FORK, SUSPENSION UNITS AND CHAINGUARD figure, which is the group that covers the swingarm and rear shock assembly as a whole. If you're not sure this rate is right for what's currently fitted, bring in the old spring or give us a call before you order.
