Title: Short Reveiw of Progressive Fork Springs
Post by: 96gs on December 28, 2004, 12:15:03 PM
So for Christams I open up some new Progressives. Next day we put them in the bike. Took all of20 minutes (and thats because we had a little trouble getting the end caps back on.) Took out for a VERY short ride up and down my street to what they did. I took it up to 40moh and slammed on the front brakes only. Maybe dived down 6 inches at the most. I remember my stock ones sucked. I would take my bike up to 40 and slam on the front brakes with the old springs and it felt like the front end would not quit diving down until I let off the front brakes. So this is a very short reveiw of these things. I give them a A++++. Next reveiw will be the Katana 600 shock (when I get it.) Later guys.
