Title: Progressive springs
Post by: dsmirnov83 on November 16, 2003, 09:45:18 AM
Progressive springs are the best thing ever to hapen to GS handling :thumb:

Just installed progressive springs with 15Wt oil and a 3/4 inch spacer (cut from the factory spacer) into he forks and the handling was never better...

A very great bang for the buck mod. It feels like a different bike all together, it's more stable in corners and more solid on smoth pavement. You do get to feel alot more bumps, but that adds predictability and crispiness to it. Havent gone out to any real twisties yet, but I'm looking foward to it.

A Big thank you goes out to all who have helped out with info and advice.
...I'm gana go ride....

Hey Denis...glad to hear you did the mod...it really does make a difference.  What happened to that nice warm weather from 2 weeks ago :guns: ?  Sorry to hear about your bike falling down....I didn't have a problem but I always keep mine on the center stand...maybe that helped. I remember you mentioning about storage for the winter that was pretty cheap...what are you doing?

I'm looking at a place in Jamesburg and I have a 50% off coupon for up to 3 months. I'll probably store it there for Dec, Jan, Feb

You are welcome to share in the space... two bikes should fit in no problem

We should put together another ride... kind of to finish of the season (unless you are in the polar bear club)
