Guest Ken8143 Posted June 29, 2007 Share #1 Posted June 29, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud Posted June 29, 2007 Share #2 Posted June 29, 2007 I kept saying they are great... the OEM isn't even close and they keep on blowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted June 29, 2007 Share #3 Posted June 29, 2007 Guess I better get going on mine! My right seal is leaking anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skid Posted June 30, 2007 Share #4 Posted June 30, 2007 I couldn't believe the difference either, for just a little money and a couple hours...WOW What a Difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toy3zve Posted July 4, 2007 Share #5 Posted July 4, 2007 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).

Saddle_Bag Posted July 4, 2007 Share #6 Posted July 4, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davez Posted July 4, 2007 Share #7 Posted July 4, 2007 This spring stuff sounds great! Can any of you tell me the best place to buy the springs and/or part numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeS Posted July 5, 2007 Share #8 Posted July 5, 2007 And you can add the SuperBrace cross member, this also give a little more improvement to the handling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted July 5, 2007 Share #9 Posted July 5, 2007 Absolutely, Progressives are the best and easiest fix to tighten up the handling of the 1st gens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
