progressive

My 96vmax has 30k on it with the stock shocks. Would a pair of used progressive 412's with less than 4k on them be better if that's all I can afford at this time?

Guys, I'm desparate for the metal sleeves for Progressive shocks that adapt them to the V-Max mount stud. They're supplied with the shocks, but try finding them separately! I'd pay good money for anyone who has a few extras laying around... (like 4 of them).

I bought a pair of 12.5" Progressive 440's off ebay a while back for a great deal. The shocks came with the standard rate springs. I have since decided I want to change them out for their Heavy Duty springs. I purchased a new set of springs from Sean Morley. He is a progressive dealer and the...

Starting modfications on recently purchased 07 Max next week. I want to add progressive springs in the very near future. What brand do you suggest? Correct size for my bike? What changes in handling can I reasonably expect? Any/ all information regarding progressive springs will be...

Went to the show today in Dallas. Think it is the first stop on the show tour. I go every year and this was the best in quite a few years. Lots of nice bikes and booths. The 2011 V-Max color looks much better in person than in the photos. Very metallic gray color. Looks good. The HD XR1200...

Hi, I wanted to install the intiminators soon since I have to change the fork seals. I currently have progressive springs. I'm having an hard time to find locally 5W for oil. I should have got it from Ricor when I bought the intiminators. Is there any possible substitute to the 5W ...

Ok, it's time to start looking at this winter's mods and I think it's time to change the front springs in my forks. My current progressives have over 80,000 on them and I think they are getting tired. I see that Progressive now has "Drop In" lowering springs for the vmax. My current springs...

I am selling used (for one day) 11.5 inch 412 Progressive rear shocks for the Vmax. I found out that with my 1.5 lowered front that my Stock pipes scrape bad on the curb turning into my home asking 200.00 plus shipping Mike

I just ordered some stock height progressive fork springs for my 97. Will I notice much of a difference over the stock springs? How much better is the progressive lowering kit vs the stock height progressive springs?

Hey guys, I recently purchased a 98' Vmax and after putting 500 miles on her, I want to upgrade the fork springs to Progressive's. I would like to lower the front end about an inch, so is it better for me to buy the lowered fork springs kit and lower it an inch or buy the original...

Hi,Fellow VMAX'ers I'm new to the site as well as my 93 VMAX.I would like thank everyone for posting all the helpful info. I just completed my first needed mod.1" progressive lowering kit.I watched Sean Morley's video(Thanks Sean!) and decided to give it a go.I followed every step and double...

I bought the kit from sean and saw that there are 2 long springs, 4 smaller springs and the plastic pvc pipe. I watched sean's video 4 times on how to put everything back together but i have a question.... Which smaller springs do i use? Do cut 1.25 off of the pvc and throw away the metal tube...

I have racetech springs installed and I'm getting free springs from progressive because of the promotion they are having. How do they compare? Are progressive better? Should I swap them? or just put them on ebay? Vitek

ARE THESE STOCK SPRINGS OR PROGRESSIVE?

Can someone here that has the Progressive 440's explain the way to adjust these for inital setup? I am not seeing much in the way of markings to indicate a starting point or a way to tell that both shocks are adjusted the same. Any help would be appreciated.:ummm: -Mike

Looks like through may: http://www.progressivesuspension.com/springpromo0310.html I'm sure morley could hook people up as well..

Installed my Progressive 440's yesterday. Review: They are *a lot* firmer than my old stock suspension. Even on their softest setting, they are firm! I am not a suspension expert in anyway, shape or form. So keep in mind this review is all based on the seat-of-the-pants-dyno-style-meter. Very...

New springs are on the way and I searched everywhere, but no firm answers, so I will lay out some questions I have. #1. Do you HAVE to remove the fork tubes to remove the old springs? I would think lifting the bike, and draining (or sucking) old oil out would work, or is there something I am...

Hey Guys, I got my 440's installed yesterday. They fit and look great IMO. You can tell they hadn't moved (been in the box) in a while because when I sat on it, it was like sitting on a bike with struts... Hey... I'm a big guy so that's saying something. I bounced a few times and they...
