Neck bearing replacement made easy.

Joesmoe · May 23, 2020

Stock length is 12.5", and anything else is going to affect handling, as will changing tire diameter.

MUCH discussion on this site about suspension choices and effects.

@sonny Many happy tool recommendations from you over the years. For your 1-1/2" thin wrench I'm having trouble finding anything similar now. The Triumph tool is listed as NLA. There is a Ford fan clutch wrench for late 90's vehicles, and that is NLA. The tool you show is still listed in the catalog, and shows "out of stock". Have you any recommendation for what is available now that would be suitable ?

I'm enjoying this. I can barely walk today and to hold this conversation is great. Yes 444's as recommended by a very respected member on here from Washington. A lot of discussion on here about shock replacement length. I like the way the 12.5 works. The standard shocks sold by progressive work great unless your a real big boy stay away from the heavy weight springs. Front springs order direct from progressive. Can not remember the size but they have a good chart and list our bikes so you know that you got the right ones. Your tire choice is a popular one. Never ran the front tire but have run a few bridgestone's on the back. I have found over time that the stock tire sizes work rather well on the Highway. Not a lot of twisty's in Oklahoma. Been running the Avon Cobra chromes in stock size and love the way the bike handles. Have found that over time for some reason running stock size tires have saved me some money on wheel bearings. Especially the rear.

I bought mine at auto zone. Had to modify but they sell a 1 1/2 thin wrench. My original purchase was the wrong size but being a pretty good tig welder took care of it.

Joesmoe · May 23, 2020

@sonny So what is the actual dimension, if you had to modify it ?

sonny · May 23, 2020

Bought metric and did not fit . Real life fit is 1 1/2

Joesmoe · May 23, 2020

I'm confused. The catalog number for that wrench shows 1-1/2", so what did you modify ?

I made my wrench out of a piece of steel and 41/2” grinder

So here are the spring Cart I entered...let me know if this is what I am suppose to order?
Also, is there any other place for the best price or this is the best deal????

I think we should have bulk discounted prices for this forum

sonny · May 24, 2020

Correct stuff. I ordered mine direct from progressive web site. Prices are reasonable.
