lr fork spring advice?

Post by batteryparkband » Fri Sep 12, 2003 10:43 am

I just installed the LR progressive fork springs yesterday, and changed the fork oil. and they seem to be great so far. Less dive on braking, a little more stable and just nicer. I am thinking I would like a little more pre-load, though. They came with 2" spacers, and I put in about 370 ml of 10w oil to get it about 190mm 180mm from the top of the tube. Can I perform any of the following and will they do me any good?: Install longer spacers (i.e. cut the old ones down to 2-1/4 in.)? Add more oil volume? Add 15w oil? Add air pressure? P.S. I'm about 5'10 and closing in on 2 hundy, carrying about a 120 lb passenger quite a bit. Thanks in advance! -j.

First have to say I have this product and it works well, even have had a cop tell me it was bright and easily seen. That said the pricing is exactly what the manufacturer of the product retails it for as well, and this price has dropped from last years pricing before D-S started carrying them. The companies site is at www.homebody-design.com and labeled as Brake!. They state at the site they are also developing led turn signals for dual sports. Brad A15
