#458116 brown91redcam (User) Another Day In the Wind Gold Boarder Posts: 798 New progressive spring on the winter mods list 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Ok I just ordered up a new progressive rear spring and 31t pulley for my 01 roadie,any tips on replacing the sring? Also waiting on my new seat to get done,had it recovered with custom vinyl and new foam added by a local guy here for $100 thought it was a great deal and hoping its as comfortable as it looks Now I will just have to get things done before spring rolls around,thanks for any tips you can offer   Logged     2012-04-23_12-03-12_290   The administrator has disabled public write access. #458120 Don Dickinson (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 147 Re:New progressive spring on the winter mods list 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   i've got the spring sitting in my garage along with a spring compressor. i'll be following this thread. i haven't given up riding yet because of winter, but i have a feeling my riding is about to end (supposed to be 10deg on friday). as soon as i'm ready to shut off the tank, drain the carbs & jack it up, i'll be working on the spring. anyway good luck with the seat   Logged     My Johnny Cash bike: http://greatwebdivide.com/bike   The administrator has disabled public write access. #458129 brown91redcam (User) Another Day In the Wind Gold Boarder Posts: 798 Re:New progressive spring on the winter mods list 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Thanks hoping I can try it out soon the snow keeps melting off around here but I don't like all the road salt on my bike so it will sit in the shed till its time,only problem is the longer it sits the more things I come up with to do to it gets kinda pricey that way What did you get for a spring compressor?   Logged     2012-04-23_12-03-12_290   The administrator has disabled public write access. #458139 dingodango88 (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 518 Re:New progressive spring on the winter mods list 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I just did the 31 tooth a few days ago.

Your fingers wouldn't stand a chance. My advice, if you don't have the tools, check w/ your dealer. I've heard many only ask $15-20.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #458265 brown91redcam (User) Another Day In the Wind Gold Boarder Posts: 798 Re:New progressive spring on the winter mods list 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Yeah I was thinking of taking it in to get the spring changed out,I am a auto tech so I have larger spring compressors to use but don't think anything will work for the bike shock just hope it helps I was dragging frame quite a few times last summer,and yes I really hope that 31tooth pulley will be run how far off is your speedo now with it?   Logged     2012-04-23_12-03-12_290   The administrator has disabled public write access.
