    Progressive springs vs. Racetech

    I have racetech springs installed and I'm getting free springs from progressive because of the promotion they are having. How do they compare? Are progressive better? Should I swap them? or just put them on ebay? Vitek

    Progressive Springs

    New springs are on the way and I searched everywhere, but no firm answers, so I will lay out some questions I have. #1. Do you HAVE to remove the fork tubes to remove the old springs? I would think lifting the bike, and draining (or sucking) old oil out would work, or is there something I am...

    Ricor vs. Progressive Springs

    I recently purchased both the Ricor Intiminator and Progressive Springs. Does any one have experience with both who can give an opinion whether I should use one other the other? My understanding is that I really shouldn't use both.

    Race tech or progressive fork springs

    Plan on changing the fork springs on the bike as I have to change my fork seals. Was going to get some progressives from Sean but just wondering if Racetechs are any better. I just picked up some progressive 440's so I usually try to match components assuming the developers plan on there...

    All, Abe and I need your help on a few things. Should we put solid motor mounts on this bike? I am doing this on my drag bike, but I didn't know how much vibration this causes and if the frame strengthing out-weighs the negatives. I personally like to "feel" the bike, just as long as parts...

    Adjusting preload OE springs

    Any recommendations for adjusting preload on the OE springs without the toolkit tool? Aftermarket tools possibly? I don't feel like spending almost 200$ for an OE toolkit.

    New Springs, or New Springs and Emulators

    I'm getting ready to upgrade the forks with at least race-tech springs. Why do I need the gold valve emulators? I'm 6' 260lbs and ride semi-aggressively in straights and turns. Thanks

    How To: Install fork springs (late model gen 1)

    I wanted to install Progressive Suspension fork springs on my 2003 V-Max, but all the manuals I reviewed only covered the complete disassembly of the forks. I couldn't find anything here as a how-to, so I am writing this up. The process is really very simple and can be completed with simple hand...
