i have the chance to get some compressive springs for a real good price we have yet to set a price but its going to be cheap. but i was wondering is it worth it with out replaceing the handlebars and what kind of diffrence will i notice once i install them. also how hard is it to install them and how long does it take.

sorry for all the questions but i appreciate the help.

It is definately worth it. put those in with some15WT oil and youwill notce a huge difference. Pantablo has an excellent right up on his site  http://pantablo500.tripod.com/ Check it out.  
Now all you need is a katana rear shock, then it will ride beautilfully. the springs should take no more than 30-45 min.

Progressive springs are a must if you do any two up riding..
I don't think you can go wrong putting them in..

I just did this upgrade about a month ago and I can tell you that the difference is extremely noticeable. I use to bottom out coming into the driveway and it's been completely eliminated with the Progressive springs. Use these instructions and it should take you no time. It was literally less than a half hour to get the whole upgrade complete. Do it!

Totaly different, as it states, Progressive, not bouncey, no dives on hard brakeing. Got two sets of forks, one with one without, one without is on the shelf

well i will call him tom and see if i can finalize a price and get those off of him. thank you all for you input. ill post more when i get them and get them installed.

I just ordered a set of prog springs looking forward to putting them in  :mrgreen:

They're definately awesome. I weigh about 122lbs and I never had a major problem with bottoming out. I got them for a performance upgrade. They make the bike feel so much more stable and I actually think they made the bike feel more like a bicycle. Very flickble. Definately get them. They turn the GS into a whole new bike.
