Brisbane Fork Specialists

[Pete]

Does any of the SE Qld riders have a preference for shops that supply and install Progressive fork springs.
I've been speaking to Rollies Speed Shop to supply "Progressive" for $130 + $90 freight and also talking to Team Moto to supply & install but they don't sound like they've heard of progressive.

I don't know but recommend you do some more shopping for a better price. Try Amazon and EBay too. Install isn't hard but you do need the Triumph special tool. If you do it or have it done upgrade to the 7 weight fork oil.

Thanks for the info TC & Mittzy
I spoke to the guys at RAD and they do hard chrome and shock rebuilds, they don't do fork springs.
Team Moto has quoted me $520 so I might be importing them myself and doing the install.

I Know @ozrider and I had spoke about doing our own front springs upgrade - We should all get together and do it at the same time.

Sounds good to me.
I have a young bloke around the corner from me that does a bit of club racing and he's just done a bike suspension coarse down south so that he can play with his bike set up. I reckon he might have some gear and be happy to lend a hand. He's a diesel fitter by trade.

That's them Mittzy. Pretty sure you'll need a spring compression tool if you do it yourself. Don't imagine it would need to be a Triumph specific tool , but I'm not 100% sure.
Pete maybe give OLIVERS TRIUMPH a call 31934444 .. get them to quote .. be cheaper than Team Moto I'd wager. Simon their Triumph mechanic knows what he's doing.

Progressive fork springs are worth the effort.
