Title: Progressive Fork springs WOW!!!
Post by: MArkRD on September 09, 2007, 10:18:10 AM
Howdy folks!

Being still kinda new to the gs5, i took the advice of installing these progressive springs on my bike. I had the luck of getting a set of brand new WP springs for € 50. That made the choice real easy.
After installing them the handling improved drastically!! + a big increase in fun factor.  :thumb: Amazing what a set of springs can do.

I now have for sale 2 springs, 2 tubes and 2 washers. You can have them for post&packaging price.  ;)

Yup!

Next thing to work on is the rear shock. The bike is still a bit wobbly in fast corners and it's definitle coming from the rear.
Thanx for the links.  :thumb: It will give me something to work on for the weekend.

I like this site more and more each day  :kiss3:
