cabreco Posted March 6, 2012 #1 Posted March 6, 2012 I just wanted to thank the Ventureriders for all of your help in bringing out the jem in the ratty old bike I picked up Christmas eve. Without your knowledge & help finding parts, there would have been NO WAY I could have pulled this off in just over 2 months. - Thanks again!
KIC Posted March 6, 2012 #6 Posted March 6, 2012 Good luck and ride safe. I bought mine about a week before you got yours...I couldn't of done it either without the help and generosity of the guys ( and gals) on this site.

(famous last words) I broke drown & picked up the Progressive. My front end occasionally clunks when I stop quickly so my neurosis kicked in. A big part of the decision to move the install up was due to your praise of Earl & the setup you got from him. I think Skydoc owes you some advertising royalties
Guest Rev'n Ahead Posted March 6, 2012 #8 Posted March 6, 2012 VERY NICE! I bought "our" bike (gotta include SWAMBO) on Dec 27th. My wife's Xtmas gift to me was a card with "permission" written in it - I'd been looking and quietly begging - I'm hoping to have mine ready to ride for the end of April after taking the MSF at the beginning of April. Insurance is gonna bite for the first year cuz I have to get a "new" license as my previous license expired many years ago - and in a different province/state. and, around here, we wait until the roads are cleaned of the sand/salt before riding - a layer of sand is lousy to try to brake or turn on... CONGRATS ON A NICE BIKE.

I think Skydoc owes you some advertising royalties He's paid me two-fold with advice and information. You will really enjoy the progressives. I am still in awe with the difference I feel. Good luck and enjoy !
bongobobny Posted March 7, 2012 #10 Posted March 7, 2012 As long as you have it all together in time for the International this summer!! Hope to see you on the road some time!

Good luck and enjoy ! OMG KIC, you were right, these progressive are UNREAL! I slapped them in & went for a ride. The bike is responsive, nimble (for it's size) and most of all I don't feel that apprehension I felt with the old springs. Definitely a great upgrade!
