close Jason but not quite...
the 7/6 leaf count is
split between the roadsters and the GT's
6 - roadster 7 on the GT's (extra weight)
the RB CB model years have different lengths for the
individual leafs as well as different curves.

Subject: RE: Spring question
There's a great deal of difference.
1) Rubber bumber rear springs have 7 leaves. Chrome bumber cars only have
6.
2) Rubber bumber cars have a steeper arch in the spring, resulting in a
higher ride height.
