Default Progressive springs way better than I expected.

After having my Progressive springs sitting on my work bench for months I finally said the hell with it and had my favorite little hole in the wall Indy thow them in for me.I guess because my heavy duty 412s were so firm I expected more of the same from the front end.I was pleasantly suprised to find that they're actually more plush than the stock springs even with 15wt oil.It looks like I picked up about an inch of suspension travel too.Having just picked it up today I haven't had a whole lot of time to ride it yet but I think I'm going to be very happy with this set up.

They're standard length, sorry I can't tell you how much oil they put in I didn't do the install.They did only charge me for 1 quart of fork oil.I have the stock springs out now and they're quite a bit shorter than the Progressives ,the spacers are thinner too.
