Hi All,
I have had my XII for about two months now , after a weeklong road trip to Vermont I am upgrading to a Progressive suspension, my question is when changing fork springs do I leave the air lines hooked up and in place or do they get removed and capped off somehow? And which part # for fork springs do I order?
Thanks

Doug Hope you had a good ride! The front springs are progressive part #11-1102 for 88-03. Just leave the air lines as they were originally. No air needed after you replace the originals. What a difference!

Re: progressive fork spring question
FYI, even with no air pressure in the forks they are sealed and build air pressure when they are compressing.
That is why the oil level makes a difference
