Progressive Fork Springs

I just had Progressive fork springs and Harley's heavy fork oil installed on my 07 Street Bob. I cant believe what a difference this makes! I wish I wouldve had this done before i ever took delivery of the bike. It handles better, and doesnt dive in curves and when braking. I also have Progressive 412 rear shocks, but those didnt make as much difference as the fork springs do. I weigh about 205, so the stiffer suspension all around made this a much better handling bike.

Good to know Joe. I plan on doing this mod in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for the info.

JoeWV, Are the progressive springs the standard length or lower. I can not find the standard length for the Dyna?

I did the same thing, standard length Progressive fork springs, a month or so back. Had 'em on my last ride also. Much better handling and brake dive improvement. I didn't use the heavy oil on this bike though, thought it was a little too stiff on my last ride.
