What is the REAL WORLD feel of these front progressive springs?



For tourers, is it really worth the cost?

If you are talking about the top pinch bolts, yes I would loosen them. It lets the fork cap bolts come out easier.

I found it easier to measurethe oil level for theforks while completely collapsed, as mentioned in the instructions. I then had two hands free to pour and measure while the tubes were vertical.

cheers guys, got the brace on, the front end is too soft for my liking, got the springs and made the tool, just waiting for a break in the weather as i have to do it outside, no room in the garage.
