On what to do with a ton of leftover oem fork springs? I don't know why I keep saving them... Customers never want them back after I get done with their upgrades.
Make some weird projects with them? A catapult with other scrap metal you have laying around?
Have you tried ebay just to see if there is any interest? I think turning them in for scrap metal (and $) would probably be best if no one wants them at all.

Scrap metal recycles them and gets you a few dollars. Enough to cover the cost of the gas to the scrap yard. :)
Pretty much this. We don't bother returning any special chips (aluminum, stainless, ...) to the scrapyard until we have at least 3 55 gallon drums full. Otherwise it ends up costing more in time than we get for it.
I'd say keep em until you find something interesting to make out of them.
Some latte swilling artsy type would probably love to get their hands on them for a lawn ornament. ( oops, I ment a lawn sculpture ) You coulees try to see if an nearby college art department ( or high school ) could use them. Ride safe, Dave
Giant "cat tails" use re-bar as stems and weld the springs to the top, then bind them all loosley and the base and plant them in the yard. Would sway nicley in the breeze too.
