In the middle of changing all the front end parts I needed to so that I can put on dual disk brakes I decided to put some Progressive fork springs in.
WOW what a difference!!!!!
Now I see what everybody has been talking about!!!
The ride is so much better I almost can't believe it!!!

 

I changed my fork oil the other day and its a lot better too.

Thinking about the springs, but not ready to tear the front end down yet.

 

Yeah, I put the Progressive springs in my bike 20 years ago. They still work great. Best of both worlds-softer ride and more resistance to bottoming.

As a bonus, the bike sits almost an inch lower under it's own weight. We be stylin'!

 

Put progressives in over the winter.

Like a whole 'nother bike.

 

I just changed out fluid and seals and that made a difference (15 weight)...looks like I am missing out on something and not done yet! YD

 

One of the best bang for the bucks there is.

 

Of all the mods I have done I think only the EV-27 was better.

 

Need to do mine soon, getting oil on one tube. Seal kit and oil, have not done this before,what should I expect from a spring swap? Don't know what I have now but don't believe it's original as the bike was seriously molested.

 

If the fork springs are stock then you can expect much less dive when you hit the front brakes only and almost no dive when you use the front and rear at the same time.
Mine also tracks much better after the spring swap but I'm hesitant to give all the credit to the springs because I changed a bunch of stuff in the front at the same time.

 

Yeah, front suspension is real important. lol
