That said - front end. What is the best (and most cost effective) way to keep the front end from feeling like a diving submarine now that the back end seems to be under control. I've seen spring kits to lower the bike, that's not my intention - better handling is the goal.
I put progressive fork springs in mine and it made all the difference in the world. Stopped the diving and decreased the hunting on grooved pavement. Some folks say you can go to a heavier fork oil and get similar results. When you put a progressive spring next to stock one, you will note how much heavier the progressive is.

Check out this one, it doesn't appear to have any thing to drag in the curves and doesn't require changing the passenger floorboard bracket. Looks pretty clean.

I have a Ride Str8 and a friend has the Tru Track....both work the same, but the Tru Track will rub on extreme right handers...both are simple to install
Your friends scooter, is he running13" shocks? Rubbing in any way is an issue especially since I'm lowered? Thanks for the info.


As for the front shocks... sounds good but you guys are KILLING ME! Just when I think I'm almost done with the mods..BAM!!! here comes something else. That will have to go on the wish list for now.

Does the True Trac increase vibration? Is this the downside to this upgrade?

I have a new SG and noticed it doesn't track that well at high speed on the highway. Is this product designed to remedy that?
YES, Yes and YES. I would better say it like this - you can steer with your ***.

Buy one, you'll notice the difference.

I have not noticed any more or less. I mean come on - with the 1580cc paint shaker going I don't think it's different.
