Freebird Posted May 25, 2018 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted May 25, 2018 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
