Just talked to Ryca. He said won't work unless you are lowering the bike. He did say that unlike the web page which says
"UPGRADES (sold with kit only)
Progressive front fork springs $75
Front fork springs from Progressive Suspension® for a firmer ride."
they do sell the springs separately.
Talked to Progressive Suspension and they make special ones for Ryca but have no stock ones for us. He said they'd put it in their "maybe to do list".

Why couldn't you just put in longer spacers with the Ryca springs?
