Holy Cow!

[Guest Ken8143]

Just got my bike out of the shop - had progressive springs put in. Holy Cow! What a difference. Why didn't I do this earlier?

I kept saying they are great... the OEM isn't even close and they keep on blowing.

Guess I better get going on mine! My right seal is leaking anyway...

[Skid]

I couldn't believe the difference either, for just a little money and a couple hours...WOW What a Difference!

My bike went from a "ho-hum", don't run over any bumps ride to a "Oh yeah, bring on the bumps", extremely enjoyable ride.

 

Changed out all three springs with Progressives. Now with all of the cornering clearance, I routinely leave my Harley Ultra Glide buddies behind in the twisties, much to their amazement (they're always commenting about how close the saddlebags and exhaust tips get to scraping the road in the first few minutes that I haven't pulled away from them).

I told you, and guess what? You don't have to put air in it and there is no air to leak out. I thought about moving up to at least something in the 90's..... but after the shock upgrade and some grease back there. I'm a first Gen Do-or-die. I'm riden it till they make it into a coffee table. joe

This spring stuff sounds great! Can any of you tell me the best place to buy the springs and/or part numbers?

And you can add the SuperBrace cross member, this also give a little more improvement to the handling.

Absolutely, Progressives are the best and easiest fix to tighten up the handling of the 1st gens
