    Progressive fork spring question??

    Ok V-max gurus- I just picked up a set of 2000 forks for my 85, and need to know if there is a way to determine whether the existing springs in them are factory, or progressive. Is there a way to tell visually, or maybe measure the coil thickness to figure it out for sure? Thanks, Stan:ummm:

    Front Suspension Upgrades

    Okay, I've read a bunch of threads on what front suspension upgrades best work on the V-Max. I've seen many threads on Progressive springs and Ricor Intiminators and those who use Race Tech springs along with the Gold Valve emulators. My brother has a 2007 V-Max and is leaning towards Ricor...

    Going to Prog springs, what oil?

    OK so tomorrow I am trashing those soft OEM springs in favor of Progreassive ones, thanks to Kevman. In the past (with spindly forks on '86 + prog ) I used 15W fork oil, and felt an improvement. I also seem to remember someone (was it Sean?) saying you could use ATF as fork fluid, but not...

    Progressive 412 Adjustment

    So this may be a newbie question, but thought I would throw it out here before I dub too deep. I cannot seem to determine how to adjust these shocks. Some of the 412 it seems dont have the chrome covers that come all the way to the bottom of the shock and it would be pretty straight forward to...

It's like riding my '57 Pan hardtail. With the wife on back, they are perfect. The spring preload adjuster is at the softest...
