#474247 greenpus (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2151 Re:Progressive #465 shock 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Seriously the only people that might want to do this change of springs is more for people like me that weigh alot. I weigh around 300. If you're skinny-assed, you really will be just fine with the 465 shock as is. Ironman started this because he was not happy with the 465 with the original 465 spring. I took this a little farther only because I wanted the partnumber of the (825/1250) that can be installed on the 465 shock.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #474249 moreland4 (User) Chrome ain't for sissies Platinum Boarder Posts: 1770 Re:Progressive #465 shock 1 Year, 1 Month ago   greenpus wrote: Seriously the only people that might want to do this change of springs is more for people like me that weigh alot.

I guess I am guilty for skimming through the posts a bit too fast.   Logged     2004 Road Star Midnight   The administrator has disabled public write access. #474253 greenpus (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2151 Re:Progressive #465 shock 1 Year, 1 Month ago   PhatRJ wrote: [b] Now - do I go for the spring upgrade too? I come in at around 260 but the girlie's only like a buck ten. I'm afraid of going way too stiff, because that would be just as bad as the jello-Buick ride I have now. I don't know. All I can recommend is buy the 465 and install as is. If you and your girlie bottom out on the bumps with the maximum settings, then you might consider getting the (825/1250) spring for your 465. Taking the shock off isn't really that hard.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #474258 PhatRJ (User) Smack 'em Yack 'em Expert Boarder Posts: 550 Re:Progressive #465 shock 1 Year, 1 Month ago   greenpus wrote: I don't know.

I already put progressive spring on with stock shock.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #482339 greenpus (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2151 Re:Progressive #465 shock 1 Year, 1 Month ago   shacky wrote: Can you buy the 465 shock without the spring?

Even though the 1181-20b spring is 1 inch longer than the spring that comes with the 465 shock, the "minimum installed length" for the roadstar bike is 142mm (5.59" and stays the same with the new 1181-20b spring. When you remove the spring from the 465 shock there will be two clip grooves showing. Put the clip back into the original groove it came out of. Do not move the clip to the top groove.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
