Probly feels higher cause your weight doesn't settle the springs as much...



Well it's tough to tell in the pics Pat posted, but I laid my stock springs down next to the Progressives, and the Prog. springs are about 1/2-3/4" longer than the stockers. But you're right, I'm sure I'm also getting less compression just sitting on the bike. Hard to quantify just how much. I guess I should've taken some measurements before and after.

After doing a 40 mile ride this afternoon through some nice twisties, I'm liking the new springs even more. Bumps in the road are a bit smoother now, and the front end just seems to stay planted better through a turn. But really the big advantage of the springs is still panic stops, and when you come into a turn a bit too hot and have to get on the brakes. Without the front end diving , I feel more in control of the bike. This has been the best $70 I've spent on the bike. I wish I'd done this 20,000 miles ago.
