Title: progressive fork springs PN 111128
Post by: shaun on March 05, 2008, 09:31:37 PM
i saw that these are a recommended part number off ebay for them. just wanted to know if these are a universal fit deal or if they are for another bike but are proven to work with the GS 500, or what not.
thanks

they are the correct ones for the gs ,but like in the bike world they do fit other bikes . i have been quite happy with my set , just have to play with the preload spacer , to get the desired  feel see this thread http://cgi.stanford.edu/~sanjayd/gs500/Upgrades/FrontSprings (http://cgi.stanford.edu/~sanjayd/gs500/Upgrades/FrontSprings)

I've got them and they are great replacement for the stock springs.I used 15w fork oil.I'm 200 lbs in my gear.best upgrade I made,other than swapping to the Katana front end.
