VerntureVet Posted October 11, 2015 #1 Posted October 11, 2015 The only thing keeping the forks from bottoming out on a hard bump on these is air? I read here of people putting on springs any idea what part # for some that would work are? Just wondering because I like to run low air in the front and back and I find myself bottoming out a lot. I tend to to get the hammer effect if I pump them up to 15-20 PSI but that's a bit high sometimes for me.
Ozlander Posted October 11, 2015 #2 Posted October 11, 2015 Fork oil is supposed to be 5 1/2" from the top with the forks all the way up and springs out. Makes a hydraulic stop.

That and set of these = http://www.ebay.com/itm/Progressive-Suspension-Fork-Spring-Kit-for-Yamaha-Venture-Royale-1983-1993-/331672716171?hash=item4d393c038b&vxp=mtr No air required after installing the Progressives, run 1/2 to 3/4 inch of preload on those springs and the bottom days are history!!
