#271982 sigmund (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 282 Anyone install Progressive Fork Springs/Lowering 3 Years, 1 Month ago   I'm pondering the install. I just installed the rear and after found out about reversing the relay arm to lower the rear and I have the front to do yet. Just want to try and make sure I don't do something that isn't good for the ride, the bike, or me. Any insight is appreciated.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #271988 PapaTom (User) I said 4 quarts.

Should give you more control on the bumps and hard stops whether the rear is lowered or not.   Logged     FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #272013 bobby2407 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 50 Re:Anyone install Progressive Fork Springs/Lowering 3 Years, 1 Month ago   i did the flip in the rear,ad got the barons kit for the front,no problems.you might have to get a shorter kickstand,also barons.i can tell you it will probally have a wobble at very high speeds if you only lower the rear & not the front   Logged     [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #272019 smhowse (Moderator) Book em Dan-o!

I recommend upgrading the fork oil too since you should drain it when you change it. (i didn't change my oil the when I changed them, I did it later) You will notice that it stops the front end dive when braking and it feels much more planted in curves. Well worth the $$ I did not notice any wobble when I lowered the rear before the front going 90+ mph FYI Steven   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #272052 rand1965 (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 545 Re:Anyone install Progressive Fork Springs/Lowering 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Part numbers for the front lowering kit???   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #272055 smhowse (Moderator) Book em Dan-o!

Oh, and thanks for the info.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #272067 rand1965 (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 545 Re:Anyone install Progressive Fork Springs/Lowering 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Thanks smhowse, Is there any spacers in the stock set you could remove to lower the front??   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/04/08 16:27 By rand1965.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #272071 fireman922 (User) Schrodinger's Cat - Wanted Dead & Alive Platinum Boarder Posts: 5161 Re:Anyone install Progressive Fork Springs/Lowering 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Here is a way you can lower your forks for almost free. It is what I did and although someday I might get a set of progressive springs, the forks work great with the stock springs. I used some 3/4 schedule 80 couplings from Lowes. Couple of bucks each. You have to trim off some nubs on the outside, but it was an easy mod.   Logged     Ask me about my attention deficit disorder or my pie or my cat. A dog. I have a bike. Do you like TV? I saw a rock.

As it is, I feel like I have to firm up my suspension... or lose some weight. And I'm at stock height.   Logged     http://s207.photobucket.com/albums/bb34/retroactivefunk/Bagger%20Project/   The administrator has disabled public write access.
