Default Handles GREAT now !!

Well, after installing 12" Progressive 440s with 90/130 spring rate and the Progressive front monotube shocks in regular height installed exactly as installation version "C" stated using both preload c clips on each side, the COP bike handles GREAT. No more front end slop or dive and firm but not harsh ride. BTW, I weigh 175.

Congrats, isn't it amazing how those changes make the stock suspension look so crappy?
