#175288 easyrider003 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 806 Advantages? 3 Years, 2 Months ago   I was wondering what the advantages were of having the stiffer spring. How does or would it effect the handling and ride comfort of the bike?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #175300 greyphart (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4842 Re:Advantages? 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Got the stock spring on mine but adjusted for more stiffness. Seems to take bumps a bit better. Guess it's aimed at 2 ups for a better ride. Handling wise, I'm not sure. Someone who has the setup will address it better.

Probably even embarassing... laugh:   Logged     2008 Road Star Tricky Air Ride(remote controlled) 6-degree Raked Front-end Ape Hangers w/Internal Throttle & Wiring RoadHouse Dooleys Bunch of chrome Online Album http://www.TampaSVT.com   The administrator has disabled public write access. #175308 ultrastar (User) Keep The Speedometer Side Up Platinum Boarder Posts: 2937 Re:Advantages? 3 Years, 2 Months ago   TampaSVT wrote: easyrider003 wrote: I was wondering what the advantages were of having the stiffer spring.

Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:Advantages? 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Mine is 200 lbs over stock progressive and after I took the lowering kid off I ran it down as soft as it would go. It handles good and feels good I haven't done any long two ups with the wife yet so I may stiffen it up.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #175321 Hotelfox (User) Riding The BIG RED THUNDERCHICKEN!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1788 Re:Advantages? 3 Years, 2 Months ago   I have the 990 spring on mine and it rides really nice, not as mushy as before, when I have the unit on the back, I don't bottom out and she handles like a dream. You only need it if you need it.   Logged     Proud Member of Patriot Guard Riders Hiram\\\\\\\'s Riders M C   The administrator has disabled public write access. #175339 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:Advantages? 3 Years, 2 Months ago   I like the stocker, my wife will never ride with me, she thinks I'm nuts, I weigh 170lbs wet and the stock suspension does just fine..If she were to decide to tag along, I probably would need more spring............. it just depends on your situation.....   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #175361 javawave (User) Over 17235 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5710 Re:Advantages? 3 Years, 2 Months ago   I had to go stiffer on mine. It was great with just me at 220 last year, but with my wife and she is only 115 we needed more.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #175370 Jade68454 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1237 Re:Advantages? 3 Years, 2 Months ago   boy Im 450 should or do they make one 600 over lol   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/03/19 20:38 By Jade68454.     The administrator has disabled public write access.
