Title: Progresive Sprung fun!!!!!
Post by: Jacknife on May 01, 2005, 05:04:04 PM

Well my latest mod which I have been waiting for has now been done. The progresive sring's in the forks. And well worth the wait, now the bike has a a smooth action to the throtle responce ether putting on power or taken it off, no dive or rearing up. As for brake's agian this is out standing as all the braking is now applied to the wheel and not the fork travel.

NO dive, cornering is out of this world for my bike now, mind you there was not a great deal of fork oil in my forks when I empty'd them. Used a 15 grade oil.

Cost: Srings £65.00, Oil 15w £5.00
Time: 1hour 30.

The result is mint. well worth the money and time! :bigok:

Ya, I just put a set in my 03  I  picked up a week ago.
I'm addicted to these springs, they work great. I've used them in my last 2 bikes as well.
Should come stock with the bike to start with!

I just did the front springs and rear shock due to an excellent find on E bay.

Totally chaged the Bandit. Much more planted in the corners, and the progressive rear shock gives a firmer but more cush ride.

This would be the 3rd Mod I would do on a Bandit after jetting & pipe.
