Progressive springs, pre-install question
Progressive springs, pre-install question
Got my Progressive 422 gas filled rear shocks and "drop-in" front fork springs yesterday.
Doing some research prior to installing. The info packed with the fork springs says to refer to a chart for info on setting the length of the PVC spacer that fine tunes the pre-load and ride height. No chart included (figures).
Havent dug into the tech info on Progressives web site yet (wanted to ask here first). I want a .75" to 1 drop in front and a pre-load to accommodate a 170 lb (solo) to 300 lb (two-up) rider weight. Suspect I wont have to modify the spacer length at all, just checking.
On the 422s -- better info on setting pre-load was packed with them and they did include an adjusting tool. Dropping it around 1.25" to 1.5 in the rear. May outsource the install since I found a local indy that will install them (the 422s) and R&R / M&B two new Avon tires for $150.00. The front springs though, definitely do that myself
