Heres my update:

Got 500 miles on this combination(Ricor and Progressive fork springs).
500 should be a fair break-in period.

First thing noticed is there is no "pre-load" on the forks, even after i sit on the bike.
There were a couple of times when the forks max-ed out(full extend) on medium bumps.

I now replaced the Progressive's with stock springs.
The ride is the same and there is no max-ed out conditions.

anyone interested in a set of progressive springs?
$45 plus shipping.
still got the box with all the fix-ns.

thanks


What you're saying has me wondering.Sounds like your spacers were too long.?I have a set of Progressive 440's for the rear and a set of Progressive springs to fit with Intiminators for the front.Reading the info that came with the fork springs they say the spacer length should be 180mm (7.12")Subtracting the 15mm for the Intiminators gives a spacer length of 165mm (6.5").
Does that sound about right for those that have done this mod? I'm only asking so I can cut the PVC pipe that came with the Progressive springs before I dismantle the forks.
I want to cut them to size on a lathe at work.
Cheers.
Edit- I just measured the length of pipe that Progressive supply and it is 10".There goes that theory so I'm lost!!
