Talking Progressive springs

Well I've ridden about 200 mis. since adding the Progressive springs
in the front end.All I can say is WOW!After putting almost 50,000 mis.
on this bike I wish had done this a long time ago.This is how it should
ride.It seems firmer,but smoother if that makes sense.The dive from the
front brake is gone.I can't wait to see the difference with mama on
board.Well worth the money.

Totally agree. Wife is very happy as she no longer slams into the back of my helmet under braking. A lot more stable in the twisties and fast on ramps.

did youall buy the lowered reg springs or are you talking about the new gas drop in springs they sell? The cost is holding me back.

Their Standard springs for the '07 SG. Did not want to lower the front, just stop the diving front end. Installed better oil too, heavier grade. Best Mod I have done.
