Default Progressive fork springs

Does anybody stock these?!?!?

I've been looking everywhere for 11-1528's for my '05 Ultra.

Everybody's on back order![:@]

Curious - I too have an 05 Ultra and am looking for the next upgrade.

What exactly do these springs do for the scoot???

I put the Progressive 440's on the rear and ditched the air shocks...BIG DIFFERENCE.

The front fork springs complement the rear shocks and give an overall smooth ride and greatly reduces the "brake dive" on your front forks.

Ace,

Do the 440's change the *** end height up or down??? Are they adjustable???

I have the R.U.B. 2 1/2 " lowering kit and tend to bottom out on occasion and am looking for a fix - don't want to go back to OEM stuff.

If I find the 11-1528's in stock anywhere I'll let you know.

THANKS Dave H.

They come in stock, shorter and longer. Check 'em out, they're worth it. I hated the Air suspension.

I lowered my king 1.5 " by putting the 440 11.5" on (stock was 13")and once i adjusted them i dont bottom out.I'm waiting on the front spring kit to lower and ease the nose diving as well.I'm only 5'8 and it gives me a more solid stance when i'm at a light!
