Progressive Suspension 11-1552 Fork Spring, Black

Ok, so I'll admit I'm not your standard sportster owner (meaning I weigh in at 220, not 160).Now, that out of the way, the stock fork springs are still garbage, had a few people try it out over the last year and they all had same oppinion, one of them weighing in at 147 pounds. SO, started looking at reviews. Amazon lists this as not compatible, well, progressive website says otherwise. Fit mine just fine, install wasn't terrible. Get yourself a manual or youtube.Having said that, there are four or five tools I recommend having if nothing else if you do a sporster:T45 for triple tree clab1/4 hex head socket for the handlebar clampMotion Pro Fork Oil Level Gauge <-- worth it's weight in gold, no guessing how much to put in, just follow instructions and it gets the right amount for you, so no cup to measure what comes out of forks.Motion Pro Fork Cap Nut Socket for HD - 39mm Forks <-fits pretty well, I put a strip of electrical tape on my fork caps and no marring.MV8000 Automotive Tune-up and Brake Bleeding Kit <-- get this for sure, you can leave your bike up on the jack, and not lower it to get that fluid out, you'll fill the resevoir up probably 3 times but it's so much eaiser than trying to manually pump the forks.You probably already have:Breaker BarDigital Torque Adapter (mine came from harbor freight and works great)jackYou'll be set with those, and it will be a one person job and not sketchy for doing the work. All in all, if the stock fork springs were a 4/10 these are a 8.5/10 for ride quality. It's not a fatbob etc, but the right setup like with my rear shocks swapped to streetglide air shocks, it's real close and super comfy. You won't be disappointed with these, get them if your are a bigger rider! Also I'm using 10wt oil (Maxima, however I do prefer amsoil shock therapy) and with a passenger still getting a fantastic ride.

I got these cause I'm 250lbs on a sportster. Hard braking would make the forks dive forward a good bit. This kit was easy to drop in and had everything I needed. I did need to make a longer spacer cause I also put +4 forks on, but its pretty standard PVC you can get at the hardware store. All fork dive is gone and the bike takes rough roads so much better. Definitely worth it!

Installed these on my 08 nightster and it is night and day. I should have bought these years ago. Increases handling, stability and ride quality. I paired them with air-ride shocks from a bagger, I am very pleased.

For my daughters 20156 Harley XG500 trainer bike. These springs are a noticeable improvement over factory. You have an opportunity to raise or lower the ride height depending where you cut the pic pipe it comes with. I will say the ride is very much better, very worth while especially if it's time for fork seals anyway. I used a dextron ATF oil, added the same amount that came out.

Nice easy to install major upgrade for 1200 custom. After test ride I was so pleased I ordered the rear. Handles much better no nose dive on braking or excess rise on hard acceleration. Works for heavy rider. Worth the money

Stock shocks on my XL883L always bottomed out on the driveway curb or minor pot holes. I went to a heavier fork oil, but they still weren't tough enough. The heavy duty Progressive Suspension fork springs were the answer !!! No mor bottoming out problems anywhere. And the ride is really responsive. Wish I'd have done this a long time ago.

Perfect for my Dyna. If you too are a “heavyweight”, these are the bees knees. Pop the stock ones out, cut the spacers according to the supplied paperwork, and off you go! Coupled with my “heavy duty” rear shocks from progressive, the bike is a beast.

The kit was sent with the metric bike instructions.The Progressive help desk is very good.The H-D instructions are available online.
