Hey guys,verdict is in. First off,I dismantled the entire front end(major PITA ) being my air system had a leak anyway may as well do it all,right?
Removed the air system,installed the Progressive cartridges and greased the upper and lower bearings,new seals and bushings.
Being retired now , I re-oiled the rear shocks with ATF, fixed the air leaks and put it all back together.
Went on a 100 mile ride today,and gotta say it was definitely worth it.Bike seems more planted , with no dive on braking .Cartidges were like $340 on Amazon .Was looking at the race tech springs and emulators which would’ve been $310.
So anyone with an older glide needing some TLC in the front, it would be a good winter project.
And she doesn’t pull to the left any more.Thanks for all the input.
