I plan to purchase 970s, but the bike is currently lowered with progressive series shocks and fork spring kit.

Will I have to do the fork springs as well when I put on the 970s. Might be a dumb question.

 

yea you should do them at the same time.

 

I didn't realize how shitty the stock fork springs were until I installed my 970's. My .02: Change yours but dont use the stock springs. You will like the 970's

 

What ynots said

 

Works makes a dual and triple fork spring set.
Low cost improvement.

 

What are your opinions on raising it back up. that picture is in the current lowered position. looks great but makes for a stiff ride

 

Looks beautiful, but everyone has their own taste

 

it does look good but if it were mine i would raise it back up

 

the front and back need to match in both height and quality the 970's being close to top of the line you will want gold valve emulators or intiminators with stiffer springs that are stock height

 

My view is that it may look great lowered - that's up to you. But overall I personally would take it back to stock ride height. I'd rather it looked ugly to some than scraped too early in corners.
