Do it yourself, one man job and easy, take the money you save and buy something nice for the bike. Here is what I used to drive the seals in with.

I'm getting this message when I try to log on the link you provided.

"The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you."

That is confusing to me. Since you are posting, you are obviously a member of MOOT, so you should have access. Try it this way. From reading this message, click on "Home" at the top of the page. Then scroll down past the "Moot Members Only" bar and click on "MOOT Events, rides, and wrench sessions". The first topic should be the link I sent.

Let me know if that works.

Yeah that worked fine. I guess I'll have to pass on the offer to come to MOOTMag this year. It looks like a great time though.

I'm gonna give it a go. I know I can get lots of help here if I need it. Would you happen to know where I can get the best deal on Progressive Springs? I've read so many good things about them I'm gonna go ahead and install them while I'm at it.

I can add them to the website and sell them to ya for 66.00 plus shipping, let me know. You would have them in about 2-3 days.

What are you going to do with 2 sets (4 springs)??

You will be sprung good or you doing a fork extension.

I will PM you the tracking number when I receive it.

I guess I overdid it with "Spring" time.

Thanks abunch, looking forward to getting them installed.

Hey, don't feel like the loan arranger, there Jim. I made the same error when I ordered mine. Fortunately, I found another MOOTster who took the second set off my hands at the price I paid.

I absolutely love what it has done for the handling -- not just braking, but cornering, too. Took a few rides to get accustomed to the new feel. It seems much quicker to turn input, including weight shift. Once you get tuned to it, I think you will love it, too.
