I know what your talking about it saying two different amounts in the manual. One place is 16.0 and another is 12.9.
Like I said before I put in 13.4oz for the 1" drop HD springs and its been working great so.....

I just called progressive for ya and Frank says its 12.0 oz for the drop-ins on a 06 Deluxe, Id start there.

Now I can ride knowing all the bolts are tight and torqed to th right spec. It's a great feeling. Also thanks for your guys imput and info.

I hate to say it, but nearly every time someone else touches my bike, with the exception of kk6pg and our shop mechanic, something goes wrong. Go figure.
