Lots of reviews say it's worth it, it'll ride better, bla bla bla.

DUDE! They are right!! Just dropped a set in my 883 Superlow. Holy cow what a difference. The nose dives into a corner or heavy breaking are MUCH tighter, the bumps are smoother.

I really didn't believe it, didn't believe all the posts about it, but it's true. You guys really do know what you're talking about.

Now....about that stock exhaust.....

 

Did you do just the springs (the 90 buckish version) or the full "monotube cartridge kit (250ish)?

How was the install?

 

Bought the kit ~$90 + the fork cap socket from Dennis Kirk's. The socket they sell has an o-ring to protect the cap. It's nice and doesn't marr your chrome cap!

Installation:
Lifted the front end off the ground to extend the forks.
Removed the fork caps. (hold the socket wrench down when you do, the compressed spring will uncoil and could cause injury or damage if you're not careful)
Removed the springs, no washers or other spacers present.
Dropped the bike down to compress the forks all the way.
Checked the fork oil level. It was reading 140mm. Exactly the spec needed by the fork kit!
Lifted the front end again to extend the forks.
Inserted the fork springs, washer, and included pvc spacer.
Marked the pvc spacer about 1/8" above the fork tube with a sharpie.
Cut the spacer along the sharpie mark.
Inserted the spacer.
Screwed in the fork caps.
Done.
Super easy!

Took it for a 30min ride. I'm impressed, it really does make a big difference!

 

I run Progressive springs in both my bikes. Very noticeable improvement in the corners and under braking.

 

I'm doing another modification soon - changing the front damper tubers to the ones from a nightster - gives you 2" more rebound travel and keeps the stock height. Then changing the fork oil to 7wt - allowing the spring to more more freely. And finally, cutting the plastic 3" spacer about 1/2 an inch to decrease preload. All 3 of the above are tried and tested by another forum member - apparently makes the front end even better

 

Changing just the damper tubes can give you longer fork travel? That would be nice.

 

Yup they are roadster tubes part# 45925-09.

I will likely do this in the next month so I shall come back with a review as soon as I do this.

 

Is this the same setup that Rog48 runs? Cool! Keep us posted on the outcome!

 

I look forward to reading about that. Only £34 a piece here too.

 

Link to kit? Is this the drop in kit? I saw revzilla only offers the drop in kit in a lowered version. I saw the standard kit raises the forks also. Did this raise your front fork length? I am interested in this for my 48 but don't want to go any lower.
