Default Just ordered progressive cartridges

Well after 98000 miles and 4 front fork oil changes I figured it would be a good idea to upgrade...
I have some time to do the swap before riding season is gets here...
Based on a link that DK had up, it looks like I will be satisfied.

Looks like I'll be ordering them as well,painting the inner fairing and swapping to 12" bars,why not spend an extra $600 while most of the front end is already apart...

No,will be installing them myself,that's the going rate(exchange,shipping,tax,etc) for living on an island off the west coast of Canada,just miles away from Seattle...
$325 USD is a good price,most I have seen on a quick search were right around the $395 mark.

Didn’t notice you were a fellow Canuck...I found mine fro California on EBay with free shipping.
I’m a transplanted New Brunswicker.

I'm about ready to replace both front and back from stock on my 03 RK [150k]. Lot's of manufacturer choices to weed through.

Did about 100 miles yesterday and I really felt the front end reacting better than before.now to pay that off and order shocks...I am leaning towards letting Howard building me a set of #3-3.

I did the monotubes and the 944s on my 13 RG a few seasons ago. It was on of the best upgrades I've done to the bike.
