I sat on a Progressive-equipped KLR once, but didn't ride it. The hobby-horse test revealed a soft-feeling front end. I wondered if it was really any better... RM

Like new silver gray dished Corbin Seat. Great for those looking to lower their seat height. $199.00 plus freight from Houma, Louisiana. E-mail me at jamboa2003@...

The PS springs are the same rate as the stock spring, in the beginning of travel. So unless you are really compressing the front suspension they will feel similar. Before you rag on someone's suspension product, you need to put in fresh oil in the correct height, and set the sag properly. With the KLR you do this using different height spacers between the fork caps and the springs. These can be easily and cheaply cut from PVC pipe. With rider and gear balanced on the bike (helps to have a friend or two to hold the bike upright) the front suspension should be compressed 3". Once you have the right sag set (the 2" spacers recommended by PS worked for me at 160lbs), then you can judge how the rest of it works. If you're big, you'll definitely need more preload and maybe heavier oil. Devon buret@... wrote:

My LR Progressive springs made a big difference for me. No more front end dive on braking. R
