Default Size relative to load

Hello,
As far as the size of your new forestay goes, it might well be the same diameter as your lowers... assuming those are the right size. Wire size is not relative to displacement, but to whatever portion of the total load the wire will bear. Have you run the standard calc's for this?
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
