I have a 2001 Eglide and I want to take out the air suspension and just have standard type forks,I have progressive on the rear with a glide-pro setup and thats great so now i need to do the front and Im not into the air supension my question is which is best way to go
eg find a set of forks from a newer Eglide or just change out the springs and the caps on the top of the forks?

 

Air in the front forks is an optional adjustment.

Have you tried them without air but with heavier Fork Oil?

That's how I'm running my 2000, ( Same forks as yours.)

 

yes,i have tried changing out the fork oil from 5w to 20w and back! also differant air Psi , looking for a more maintenance free front end (don't like the elbow banjo's) seem to leak a lot Im on my second set and over here at 50.00US a shot "thats right 50US for one banjo" i just what some forks that are maintenance free!
