+1 for Works, I think mine ended up being $140 with shipping. Call 'em up, you'll be a believer too after you talk to them.

I'm curious how long these springs last.

It looks like my order has already reached the shipping phase and can't be canceled. Next time I replace these, I might have to look into one of the emulator kits. Gotta do a little research before then.

With the progressive springs, should I go with heavier fork oil as well? Any suggestions?

i would try to get a fork brace if you don't already have one. even though some guys say that the fender doubles as one. after i rode with one i wouldn't think of not having it. much stiffer ride through the corners and a noticable difference when you take if off.

Heavier weight oil will increase damping, does your front end seem "bouncy", if so increase fork oil weight to 15 W. Harley suspension has a lot of room for improvement, I have almost 1700.00 in suspension upgrades and finally I am happy, Works triple rate spring kit, YSS 366 series rear, Sputhe positrac,Ricor IAS front, SE fork brace. Along the way, I wasted money on some progressive parts which I felt were an improvement over stock, but were still lacking compared to what I was used to. Good luck.
