Front Forks To Soft

[bruce saarinen]

I can bottom out the front forks on my 2005 Rocket 3 by just grabbing a hand full of front brake in my garage. What is recommended to fix this problem? Obviously the springs are to weak and how about the valving? Thanks, Bruce

need new springs.
Mine aren't that bad yet,
but I'm gonna do the job pretty quick myself.
i'm going with progressive springs myself.
Need to find a link from somebody who has already done it I guess.
Anybody know the details of where or what to buy?

You will need the fork spring compressor tools.Bishop lent some out to a member and they never returned them.Bloody shame that.

Progressive fork springs are good. I used 15w fork oil. Had dealer install them.
I think the forks springs were around $100, not a bad price.

x2 on the Progressive fork springs. I went with 20 weight oil and lov em.

I'm getting Progressives installed this week. Mine were very soft too. I'm letting the dealer do it because I think it's a reasonabley tricky job. Then I'll have progressives front and back, should make a big difference.

Appreciate that Fred.

I knew Bishop had a spring compressor, and was lending it out, and whoever was next,
that captain would forward them on to the next one of us on the list.
somebody renigged on us? Is this feller still a member in good standing?
if so, maybe he just forgot to send them on or didn't know who to send them to.
That being the case, I'm the next guy on the list whoever has them.
You can just forward them on to me.

I'll post and ask who else needs them.
