Just bought a progressive lowering kit for the front end. The guy selling it included the seals, fork oil, and the whole Progressive kit for 125 and he's paying shipping since I used Buy It Now, couldn't pass up a deal that ****ing sweet so I jumped on it.

How do you guys that already have em like em? Oil recommendations for a nice ride? Problems during installation? Any special tools/tips/tricks I should know? I got the basics down for the fork springs/seals n ****, just lookin for a heads up and any helpful hints NOT included that may ease the process.

 

nice ride and the hellcat shouldnt go together

 

lol...it NEEDS to...at least up front. I already tore my fork boots and I'm gettin ready to swap frames in a few weeks. I gotta have SOME kind of relief on it...even if it's just a little bit.

 

true..

 

Come on dammit...I know some of you guys have this kit...give me details!

 

Just a note of caution as you may not be aware... with your 5 deg. raked trees which probably wobble now a little at high speed will get worse since dropping the front 1-2" will drop your trail into the negative figures I bet.

 

I don't tend to go over 80 mph for any real length of time, but I've never noticed a wobble at any speed.

 

cool

 

I just took actual measurements and worked out the math because ya got the wheels turnin on this one [8D]...my trail right now is 2.41"...if I drop it 1" I'll be at 2.21" of trail. Once I get my new frame, I'll be at 5.07" with my current front end, after I swap to a 16" front wheel, I'll be at 4.17", and finally, after swapping to a Fatboy front end, I'll be sitting at exactly 4.19"...which is within spec....

Seems like a waste to do the suspension with the current forks, but I've got another project starting up soon that I think I'm gonna end up using them on, so I'm gonna go with it for now.

 

Should look good on yours
