I bought a 2015 Ultra Limited Low - Well, I am not real happy with the front end - since Harley dropped it one inch - that drop made the front end a lot stiffer - at least in my opinion, lol.

Well, I have decided to put the front end back to 'standard' Harley - Meaning I got a set of 'take off' Lowers and will buy all the needed internal parts to build the two front forks - I have taken the front forks off a Bagger/Batwing before and its not all that hard - I will have a friend that is a retired Harley mech - to the building -- What I will end up with is essentially a Street Glide (as far as suspension)

My question here is -- Looking for people who have installed the Progressive front springs into their front shocks


http://www.progressivesuspension.com...ork-spring-kit


These springs have been around for some time. The are a dual rated spring.

The standard springs are about $40 a set - I can get the progressive for about $85 a set...

for those that have tried them - do you like them???

I am looking for a better ride - current lowered front end is just to FIRM

 

I wouldnt cheese out on springs, at a minimum I'd go with Progressive Monotubes, or Ricors

 

I saw the mono kits for $500 - that the one??? if so, I really do not need those - unless I can borrow your CC, lol

 

Well, others can chime in, I dont run those springs, but I'm skeptical your ride would be improved by using those springs, but I could be wrong.

Just be carefull you dont go too far in the other direction making front too loose / soft becuase then you could have issues with bike getting pushy when you hit a bump or sweel while conering putting the bike into an wobble or undulating (lack of better word) situation .

BTW,just wondering why you woldnt 1st try some aftermaket springs that were a bit milder before completely pulling forks appart going backwords to older fork parts when lighter springs & along with lighter fork oil could have reduced the harshnees ?

Maybe i missed something like there are no lighter springs avail for your your 2015 or that it uses montubes which would explain what your doing.

I have the 2015 LOW - Front end was dropped by HD by one inch - to make the LOW - for us cabbage patch riders, lol - I wanted the LOW because of the several upgrades to LOW - just that the front being ONE inch shorter - it is much firmer - All I want to do is build a Stock front end (parts = height) nothing more, nothing less. The back will stay low (for now) actually making the bike just like a Street Glide = standard height in front, low in the back.

I ONLY posted this question because Progressive has sold for several years - replacement front springs... if you read the link... it is suppose to be better than stock but provide a better ride..

Since I am building these and buying all the internal parts... Stock springs are about $20 each - I can get the progressive for about $40 each..

NOT going Softer and I do understand your warning
