Unscrewing the top fork nut, pulling the spring out, filling the fork oil level (if needed), dropping in the new spring and spacer and tightening the nut. My mechanic has the stock for that size nut (1.5" ??) and it didnt scratch the chrome. Took him about 10 minutes.

Drum... I agree with you.... 76th street is horrible.

 

Just got all my progessive suspesion on tonight, did the heavy 412's in black and put the fork springs in tonight. Went for a real short spin, Man what a difference!!! Some of the best money i've spent since buying my bike!

 

Amazing... kinda makes you pissed that it doenst come off the floor that way.
have a blast.

 

This whole thread is just shocking [8D]

 

Beautiful

 

Yes it does! But then again,Most MFG's bikes need improvement.

if they were right from the start,they would never sell us anything else.Bastards!LOL

 

Lots of good info... That will definately be my winter project.

 

the nut is 1 3/8 I did my rears this pass spring, I got the fronts coming this week. progressives are the best shocks for the money. thereare othervery good shocks out there but dollar for dollar you can't beat them.

 

what springs did you put in up front? read through but didn't see. bought the wife an 04 883 and she is just 5'3 so got to get it as low as i can but not where it starts draging Thanks for the info

 

Wow, now I know exactly where my next dollar(s) will be spent on my '07 XL1200C. I've been bottoming out on what I consider to be moderate bumps and have even been hesitant to expose the wife to any 2 up riding because of that. I'm 225-230 ( depending on how many pitchers went down the night before) so it sounds like the heavy duty ones on a middle setting are the way to go. I'll let you know as soon as it gets done what my impressions are.
