RE: THE WINTER MODIFICATIONS THREAD
You know, man, I love the look of Kpreese's bob with the springer front. However, since I pretty much have to do everything myself (no cash to pay the labor), and he said it took a lot of modifying, I think it's out of the question. Also, my bike isn't as old-school looking as some of the others so I'd have to change my whole theme up to accent the springer front end.
Still, if you're buyin', I'm down with it.

Purchased and installed the Chrome Master Cylinder Reservoir and Clutch Bracket yesterday.
Not sure if I want to do the mirrored LED fuel gauge anymore. The chrome lower fork sliders will get done but definitely not over this winter.
Looks like all my winter mods are complete...and winter just started. [:@]

PowerCobra98, you'll have plenty of time to save up some more cash and do more mods. If you're having a hard time deciding what to do just read some more of the forum.
That bike is gonna SCREAM!!!
I would have to say it's a choice between a more comfortable ride and a high performance, scraping pegs performance change.
You're welcome Phreak! Maybe hit the photoshop forum and ask someone to do a mod for you so you can see it before you do it.

I have the 440 with heavy duty springs now and it seems too stiff. I am right on the line for where Progressive suggests going to the Heavy Duty, so i did. I have since talked with them, and they said I am not the first 220lb person to complain about it being too stiff.
what are your thoughts here?

RE: THE WINTER MODIFICATIONS THREAD
Thrillseeker, sorry for the late reply.
I would say the Progressive 440's are for performance from what you describe. If you were to go with a softer spring you will be getting a more comfortable ride and if you go with a stiffer spring you will be getting a harder ride but the suspension will give you better results at the race track.
Example: If you were to go to a track day they suggest you set your suspension to the stiffest setting.
Phreak, That setup will look great on your bike. The sissy bar support will be well hidden under the seat.
