progressive

I purchased a set of the 412 rear shocks for my bike in January 2007 and noticed a few weeks ago that one was starting to leak. I knew that the one year warranty was up, but I thought I would call them to see if they could do anything for me since they were still fairly new. I was told to send...

According to my measurements, the stock V-Max shocks are 13.5" eye to eye. My recently purchased 418 Progressives are 12.5" eye to eye. How much will this lower the rear? Anyone have this shock installed? If so, any comments / suggestions? I am sure I will have to modify the side and...

I plan on tackling this myself. Is it difficult? Any step by step directions on the forum? 2007 Vmax Ufo STarfighter Seat Mek Bolt Kit Progressive 412 rear shocks Cobra 4 into 4 slashcut Exhaust $1500 thus far and no end in sight.

I looked for a previous discussion. But found nothing on this subjet:confused2: I know this is probably a stupid question.........Do you have to disassemble the lower tubes and remove the fork seals to install the kit? Thanks!

I recently purchased a pair of the Progressive 418 rear shocks. They are 12.5" eye center to eye center. I test fitted them with the stock wheels and tires and would have to modify the side and center stands. I also have a Kosman 18" rear wheel with a 170/60/18 tire I want to mount. Has anyone...

Hi, I would like to know where I could get the best deal on progressive fork springs for my vmax..Thanks alot!!

Does anyone have pictures of installing progressive front springs? Im looking for a step by step for a disassembled and reassembled of the front forks, the manual is a little vague. I?d really appreciate any good advice. I?m mechanically inclined by have never dissembled motorcycle front forks...

I'm going to try to improve the front end handling on the 2000 vmax.When I bought the bike it allready had progressive shock on the rear. What would be the best springs for the front forks "Progressive or Race Tech"??? I want to make sure I make the wright choice {there not cheap}. What is the...

I am upgrading the suspension on my '99. I dropped the fronts 1.5" in the clamps and that made it handle much better. I now enjoy the tight stuff. I thought I read a lot of good things about the progressive 11.5" but now believe it will probably drop it too much (I like cornering). Instead of...

anyone ever come across a step-by-step installation guide for progressive springs? would love to see it mapped out in better detail than the factory manual.

anyone know where there's a write up on this on how to do it correctly? or maybee give me a " walk through " on how to do this?

Finally time to start the upgrades on my bike so I'm wondering what y'all recomend. I want to keep the stock looks, cause I like them and it's cheaper, so just gonna replace the springs. What I want to know is wich one would be better? From what I've read so far Race teck with lowering...

I had progressive springs put in my forks the handling is much better but there seems to be a thunk everytime I hit a bump. The mech says the springs are too hard and it warps and hits the side of the fork. Is this correct or did he just install them wrongly?? Or could the piping be too short...

Bought this set new and installed it but they were a bit stiff for me since I'm more of a hotrodder than a knee dragger. Took them out a day later. Have springs and instructions. $48 plus actual shipping charges.

Thanks in advance! Asking too many questions below! I am thinking about upgrading my shocks but a low budget so the 412 series are in my price range. What are your opinions on these shock compared to the OEM's? Any suggesstions on whether I should stick with stock 13" size or go lower...
