Hi Chaps, I am considering the above and have read the best stuff in here for guidance but would be keen on any thoughts from anyone who has installed this to advise how they found clutch pull after install to the stock set up eg; if it became much stiffer or remained roughly about the same...

I just saw that one of my fork seals is leaking really bad and I plan to upgrade my springs at the same time. If I get the spring kit from you does that include the seals and all that I need? also It seams that everyone lowers there bikes and I see that you have a kit for the 2" drop. think...

The rooms at the Eldeweiss are going to be released at the end of aprill so better call and reserve yours. See the 2011 eureka springs rally thread in the organised rides section. You wait you will have to look elsewhere for a room. Michael

OK, here is my tentative plan & observations. I like working on my bike, I have access to a machine shop/machinist friend who used to work as that for Crane Cams when they were in Hallandale Beach FL before they moved to Daytona Beach. While not a pro mechanic, I can do much of my own work. What...

I was wondering if any forum members are near here and if so what the riding/ weather is like there at during the Spring/ Summer/ Fall/ Winter seasons? Are the mountains roads as good as they seem in a cage? How does our Vmax run at the 5000+ elevations? TIA

okay, this is what i get through searching past post ect.. you can just put the progressive springs(reg not lowering) w/o taking the for apart, im 245 lbs. and dont want to lower anything, you should remove each fork to turn upside-down to drain and get parts out ect... then wash out with...

I bought a pair of 12.5" Progressive 440's off ebay a while back for a great deal. The shocks came with the standard rate springs. I have since decided I want to change them out for their Heavy Duty springs. I purchased a new set of springs from Sean Morley. He is a progressive dealer and the...

Starting modfications on recently purchased 07 Max next week. I want to add progressive springs in the very near future. What brand do you suggest? Correct size for my bike? What changes in handling can I reasonably expect? Any/ all information regarding progressive springs will be...

Looking at it and will plan for the rally in the ozarks in eureka springs Arkansas for June 17-19. If you really like to ride twisties and canyons, this is the rally you need to make. Also try to get into town by friday early as we have a 125 mile ride planned into Missouri that will be a...

Hi, I wanted to install the intiminators soon since I have to change the fork seals. I currently have progressive springs. I'm having an hard time to find locally 5W for oil. I should have got it from Ricor when I bought the intiminators. Is there any possible substitute to the 5W ...

Ok, it's time to start looking at this winter's mods and I think it's time to change the front springs in my forks. My current progressives have over 80,000 on them and I think they are getting tired. I see that Progressive now has "Drop In" lowering springs for the vmax. My current springs...

:ummm:Hey guys fitting new steering head bearings and new billet fork brace to my 98 Max. Have also ordered a new set of progressive fork springs. Will the oil change and fork springs be enough to help the front end or do I need Intiminators or Emulators which I can't really afford at the...

I just ordered some stock height progressive fork springs for my 97. Will I notice much of a difference over the stock springs? How much better is the progressive lowering kit vs the stock height progressive springs?

Hey guys, I recently purchased a 98' Vmax and after putting 500 miles on her, I want to upgrade the fork springs to Progressive's. I would like to lower the front end about an inch, so is it better for me to buy the lowered fork springs kit and lower it an inch or buy the original...

Well, I may as well get this thread going as I was the first to get home probably! I would like to first say thanks to the organizers of this great ride! I live in the general area (1.5 hours away) and love these roads. However, it is that much better riding with people who like me, have had the...

my riding style is mostly cruising. I bought a set of progessive springs and a lowering kit from Sean. I got everything apart and i'm trying to decide how low should i go. I want to be able to use the center stand still without having to put the bike on a 2x4. I'm not lowering the rears. I...

I've got a borrowed big tube hindle 4-1 to throw on my bike for a bit. It didn't come with any springs to hold the joints together. Anyone have a clue what size to buy? Looking for a length and wire diameter if possible.
