Installing Progressives...what else?

I already have the new Progressive brand progressive springs. I know about the Silkolene.
I've installed Progressives in my Kawasaki, but all I did was drop in the new springs and put in ATF.
I'm hearing about spacers and emulators. I've never seen an emulator. What do I do when I open up these forks? I'm after getting rid of the pogo effect and whatever else will make it handle better, I don't need it lowered or anything.

Thanks everyone, the new seat and the fan switch were great on this last weekend motorcycle camping trip!

Danny I have a chance to use a super-high-zoot air ratchet. If it doesn't work, the holder will be the way to go. But I don't anticipate that I'll need the holder. Very, very cool of you though, thanks a lot!


So, I basically can do the same thing I did on the Kawasaki...pull the old straight-rates and drop in the Progressives with fresh oil. Right?

Great!

My used '02 came with an '85 owner's manual; anybody know how much air I should put in there, since the forks are different from what the '85 had?

I'm sure you will think of this but I'll pass this little tid... along anyhow...don't forget to bleed off the existing air in your forks BEFORE loosening the bottom bolt!!
We won't talk on that any further......OK! :bang head:

Well hang on here Dan-O - I really think we should elaborate here! Did I hear something about oil spills, splashes, stains and other niceness? :rofl_200::rofl_200::rofl_200:
