Three years ago I put Progressive spring in the front, Big improvement from the stock springs.
The way Pa. roads have been getting a lot of the bumps I was hitting would come up threw the bars and really shock into my arms, almost painful.
After talking with different people last winter I installed Race tech springs and emulators.
what a difference, The ride is better the handling is better it's like a different bike.
The springs I got were one step less then recommended and the emulators I set to what Don Medina told me he had his set at 3 turns off light seat with the light springs, 10w oil.
The Race tech's are about 3 times the money over Progressives but I think they are worth it.
Just wondering what the thought of everybody else are.

Re: Progressive or Race tech
Don Medina put some on his '02 and really liked them because they can be fine-tuned to a riders weight and riding style.
