Thanks,

Check out this thread from here. At the top of the page is my post with a site for shocks/springs and also a the Progressive site that allows you to search their products for what will suit us.

Thanks John, seems that the only model year they list is for 02 but I'm guessing that the front spring set up has not changed. I'll give them a call and check it out. (tried to find a thread, but for some reason could not).

The springs and shocks are the same on all models since '02. Good luck.

Thanks for the part numbers. I'm considering doing the same thing myself. Exactly how difficult was the installation? Swapping out the rear shocks is obvious, but how about the front springs? Also, is the difference in the height of the bike noticeable? Thanks.

If you are interested in the Progressive Front Lowering springs I have a set of never used still in the box. My brother bought them but never put 'em on. They are still in the box sitting in my garage.

Hey Paul,
I know Tom has first dibs but if he does not want them, I am interested.

Just my two cents here, after seeing Jaymo's bike in person, lowered front and rear, it looks GREAT like that with those low bars too. I still don't think I would do it just because of cornering clearance, but it looks great!! I hope you guys take lots of pics.

Here's an example of how the bike looks after lowering. I like the lines of the bike more with it lowered and definately tell the difference when I sit on it. Steven

Bike looks great. How is the ride? Did it make it stiffer? Have you had a passenger on the back? If so did it change the ride for them? Any idea how much you were able to lower your seat hight? Sorry for all the questions but as I said earlier, I think the bike looks great.
Have fun!

That certainly looks good! I just ordered the front lowering kit and rear shocks from MAW. What part of the forks did you replace -- just the "big spring"? A photograph on the MAW website shows the big springs, two small ones, and spacers, and it looks like it might be a major job to have to replace everything. Thanks.
