Default Front end dip
Anyone tried a progressive rate spring in the front forks? I have an 08 streetglide that just dips more than I like, even under normal braking. I don't ride aggressive often but like to once in awhile and the front end just bounces up and down too much for my liking.

Suggestions?

Change your fork oil over to SE and the dips will dissapear. My suspension is almost to firm with it! You will like the inexpensive results!

Sounds great and much easier than a spring change, thanks...
