Ktech or Rally raid is who I would source a spring from.

 

I personally went with Ktech because the rate I needed was available at the time and due to my location a Rally raid spring would have cost considerably more in shipping costs.

I like that Ktech springs are the same Diameter as stock and don't use an adapter like the Rally raid, but there is nothing wrong with them.  

Ktech are also a few mm longer than stock and the extra installed preload was a benefit for me  because of my weight.

 

There are a few more brands available.  Go to the Adventure rider forum and check out the T7 suspension thread, there is tons of info there.
