#399875 icatchemall (User) Everyone Die's...but not Everyone Live's Expert Boarder Posts: 480 What Spring ? 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Looking at getting a rear spring for the R* Which one is the best Barons or LA Choppers I ride 2 up most of the time and have both bags full and sometime and extra Bag on back. I'm about #170 and the wife is pushing a big #105. I have the stock spring now which I believe is maxed out. Or can I add a spacer on the staock spring to tight,n it up some more? Let know and thanks for the help.   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 KB   The administrator has disabled public write access. #399881 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 5508 Re:What Spring ? 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   im going with the progressive one. i asked basicaly what you did and it was overwelming on the progresive spring   Logged     feel free to look thru my albums http://s1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/jasonwoody/ email me at jasonwoody1982@yahoo.com my 2005 midnight 1700   The administrator has disabled public write access. #399887 javawave (User) Over 17235 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5710 Re:What Spring ? 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   you sure you have it turned all the way out? when i have my Star fully dressed with a trunk, plus my then weight of 250 and wife of 115 I was ok. It could have used a little more but it was ok. It does raise the bike slightly though.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #399897 Goodygood (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 401 Re:What Spring ? 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Regardless of whether you are maxed on your stock you will love the feel of the progressive over the stock. The bike rides smoother and handles alot better and can not even compare to the stock spring.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #399931 icatchemall (User) Everyone Die's...but not Everyone Live's Expert Boarder Posts: 480 Re:What Spring ? 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   javawave wrote: you sure you have it turned all the way out? when i have my Star fully dressed with a trunk, plus my then weight of 250 and wife of 115 I was ok.

How much for the progressive?   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/07/15 12:20 By icatchemall.   Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 KB   The administrator has disabled public write access. #399955 Goodygood (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 401 Re:What Spring ? 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Yeah you would have to tighten the nut for more preload and the progressive runs around $80 spring. Plus you could pick up another item and save on shipping since Phats has free shipping with $99 or more.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/07/15 13:16 By Goodygood.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #399964 oldbritgit (User) I need teeth to hang on in that sidecar??!!!
