Default Progressive suspension

Thanks to all the responders to my earlier thread asking if Progressive shocks/fork springs are really worth it. Tomorrow, or maybe later today, I will start installing the 412's and fork springs and will be looking for some improvement in the suspension. Hope everyone has a great thanksgiving.

OK : But we were just kidding about them actually working !
.................................................. .........................

Your doing both front and rear ? You are gonna think your on a different bike when you ride it !!!

I hope you have a good bike lift. That is a Must ! And strap it down because your going to be pulling and jerking on wrenches etc.

One thing i have heard several people say they wished they had measured the ride height before and after, So get a couple measurements from different spots before the switch, And campare them when your done.

You could snap some pics as you go through the install, And post them for others !!!!



Be careful and let everyone know how you like them !!!!
