Chaparral price hike on Progressive springs!!!

[Kerry]

Say it isn't so!  Last week Chaparral was selling Progressive Fork Springs for $46.99.  Now they're $69.96.



That's a 50% increase!  :x  Perhaps we bought too many?  Looked too eager?

Luckily, MAW still offers them for $57.95. (Click on the MAW link and do a Ctrl-F search for MAW part number 02517.  The manufacturer's part number is 111128.)

looks like I upgraded just in time.  By the way, thank to pantablo and others for the easy-to-follow instructions.

score! i mean... err.. sorry for everyone who might have to buy them in the future  

[raylarrabee]

I can give somebody my old stock springs so they can stuff 2 stock springs in each fork tube

Chaparral's Progressive springs (type 377-1128 into the search box at http://www.chaparral-racing.com ) are again listed at $46.99.  Maybe there was a mix-up at Chaparral and they mispriced them for a while?

It shows 46.99 but then click on the thing ... and it shows $69.96.
Cool.

Motorcycle accessories warehouse is the cheapest right now. I paid 69.12 including shipping as of 8/30/04. I think the list was 59? plus tax and shipping?

[Rema1000]

Bummer.  I contacted Chaparral's customer service and they fixed the web page to show the correct price of $69.96.

Whats this i hear about Yamaha Radian springs working in a GS? I know that Progressive Suspension has the same part number for the springs on the GS and Radian.... but how about stock radian springs? My buddy's Radian has a very stable front end, and I imagine you could pick up some radian springs pretty cheaply....,

[SPARKPLUG1977]

I'm certain they would work, as the replacement springs for both are the same. perhaps a different spacer length.

I bought some closeout Pro-race springs from LP that were listed as being for a Yamaha Radian.  I too noticed that Progressive listed the same part for both the GS and Radian.  I installed my new springs with the 0.75 inch spacers that were included, removed some oil to get the same depth as with the stock GS stuff....and wha-la...they work fine...no more clunking everytime I run over those manholes.  HeeHee, I got mine for $15 plus $6 shipping.

[SPARKPLUG1977]

Same ones I got.  tada same result.

[ConanLloyd]

OK, dumb question from a newbie.  What/where is LP?  Do they have a web page?  Thanks.

Just a quick confirmation. The Chaparral link above is still pointing to the correct Progressive Springs to get for my 97 GS?

[Kerry]

Yep, that's the one.

The MAW info from the first post in the thread is still good too.  $12 cheaper, but a little more hassle in the ordering process.  (Unless you order by phone, maybe.  :dunno: )

I just ordered progressive springs from MAW last month, and their system didn't seem to be new but I didn't think it was a big hassle. Unless the whole "call to confirm the order" thing was what you were talking about.

[roguegeek]

Yeah. I was kinda concerned about their ordering system too. I'm only about 30 minutes away from Chaparral, though, so I think I'm going with them. Thanx.
