yea I probably will do the Pro. Springs. like I said before, I'd really like to raise the front a little, we'll see what comes around. With the way the shocks changed the Ride, I'll probbly do the Fork spring change before to long. I really would like to raise it out front though.

******,
any thoughts about doing the front springs also with the progressives. the kits are pretty inexpensive. haven't done mine yet but that's my next mod.

I sure wish I could! It's got COLD today. My poor dogs chain was frozen shut.

So how much lower do you sit with these shocks?

that what I meant the fork springs. people who have put them onsay you really didn't know you have a issue with with the fronts until they changed them. doing the back is only half the problem.

******, when did you order and receive your shocks?
I ordered shocks some time ago, but Chris has been missing in action the last week.
Some one had mentioned that there may have been a family issue. (hope all is ok )
Just curious.
Nice bike by the way

About an Inch lower. looks lower than that but it sits very close to the way it did. You can tell it though, I wanted a lower look, that is why I ordered the 11 inchers, stocks are 12 inches.

Yea I agree, I really had no issue with the ride of my Bike, I just was used to the "choppiness" I guess. I really want the front a little higher, but I bet I can't have that and Progressive Springs too!
