Cougar Posted May 25, 2018 Author #26 Posted May 25, 2018 cut it out just now, thanks, and my forks have a drain plug in them at the bottom of each fork... what size did you guys cut the plastic tube for the progressive springs ? and did you use to same amount of fork oil ?
Freebird Posted May 25, 2018 #28 Posted May 25, 2018 Sorry, can't help you with the Progressives. Never used them. I firmly believe the Sonics are a better choice for the RSV.

Freebird Posted May 25, 2018 #31 Posted May 25, 2018 I'm sure they will be fine. Much better than stock. From what I understand, the problem is that Progressive never actually made a spring for the RSV. The one that they sell was designed for the older Royal Star and it was much lighter. So the spring rate is really not heavy enough for the RSV but probably heavier than the stock springs.
Cougar Posted June 2, 2018 Author #32 Posted June 2, 2018 Well, I am DONE !! Its raining so when that lets up I am going for a ride :-) I don't think I want to ever do that again LOL , seem like it took forever. I did learn lots tho. I also had to wait on parts as well. so anyways lets hope the front end stays together ! :-) Jeff
