Correct fork springs

[Lew L]

Hi All,
Progreasive springs arrived and are #'ed 11-1129. Is this correct for a 98 Max ??????
Also says to use stock spacer???? Depends on rider weight, no????
TIA, Lew

Lew, those are for the early model forks. You need 11-1144.

I would use the stock spacer....you may need to cut it down to get correct preload and sag. If it needs to be longer, just use PVC from local hardware store. Someone will be able to chime in on diameter and type.

When I installed Progressive springs in my original front end I had to cut 1/2" off of the stock spacer to get the correct sag. Start there and cut in small increments until you get the sag set at the recommended amount in the instructions.

The basic Progressive spring kit for the 93-up bikes should include 2 pieces of PVC pipe and instructions on how long the pipe/spacers should be. When I originally cut mine per the instructions it gave me about 2 inches of pre-load. Too much. I then took about an inch off of what they said.

Great---- Motorcycle Accessory Wherhouse sent me the wrong springs.:bang head:

I bought my springs used on Ebay - no spacers with it, so I used 1" schedule 40 pvc at the advise of others here on this site. Worked great ! Sux they sent you the wrong ones ... :damn angry:
