Default Progressive 970s Installed!!
I was riding this last week and hit my pipe hard enough on a turn to lift the back end and kick it out so figured enough was enough and ordered the 12.5" Progressive 970s. I just installed them last night and man what a difference. I haven't gotten a chance to ride it hard yet but did take it around the block and love the ride and handling characteristics. I'm also really liking the new stance and the remote reserviors look great. I have Progressive fronts and it's lowered just a bit in the front so now it sits completely even. I will get some new pics up if anyone is interested.

Also, I had to ditch the Nash bag since it doesn't fit now with the remote reservoirs. I will be posting it for sale in the classifieds if anyone is interested.

I like your bike more now with the flat tracker bars. Everything flows together nicely.

Finally someone got the 970s, not to many people talking about them. Ive been thinking about ordering a set as soon as I get back home in a month.
Let me know how you like them and how they handle. There 12.5" right?
