Default Progressive

Man that looks great! I'm thinking of using the same Progressive parts. Please tell us more about the suspension. Did the 940's lower the rear? How much did you lower the front? What size wheels? Can you feel any difference in handling?That's way too many questions
Thanks

I am very pleased with the suspension. I have put about 200 miles riding solo and another 100 2-up. Bike is a little more stiff, but I feel in better control. Even though it seems more stiff the reallyh harsh bumps are not as bad. Even my wife commented on the better ride.

I used the 1" lowering monotubes and the 940's. About the same height as stock with the 21" front wheel.

Default Renegade wheel "wobble"

I have the same bike and installed a 21" Renegade Rocklin on the front a few months ago. I have had major problems with weave and wobble ever since. It kicks in at around 80-85 mph. Tire pressure is good. Neck bolts adjusted, bearings repacked, wheel double-checked for balance...even changed out windshields. Nothing worked. Have you experienced any "wobble" problems?

Have not noticed anything like that yet. Did run it up to 95 for a few miles after picking it up.
