I could be wrong, but the website is still up. And said copyright 2024 at the bottom.

sonicsprings.com/catalog/about.php

But yeah, I have their springs in my fork. I'm still putting my bike together so no road feel/experience yet, but from what I had in there, initial feel of the springs, just by handling the bike to move it around, is way better than the stock ones. On the plus side, I don't have to worry about the air in the fork any more.

82' KZ750-R1 cafe racer style. Clip-on, Rear set, Fork-Brace, Mikuni Flat-slide (forgot the size), Kerker.
84' GPz750 (basket case). everything are in pieces.
89' ZX750-H1 (ZX-7 Ninja). Resurrection project are on going with my KZ750. Everything is stock.
