Just had my first ride after installing the Progressive 440 rears and what a night and day difference!

Each bump was literally bone jarring on the stock suspension and it was so stiff I had to fight the bike to stay leaning in corners. Now, especially when cornering, it's like I'm gliding. I can lean more, response is far more fluid and quick - absolutely unbelievable upgrade!

Going to have the fronts done (Progressive again) in a couple of weeks as well and will see if that makes any further difference.

In summary - all I can say is WOW.
 
That was the exact same feeling I had. I felt I could lean the bike over enough to scrape the pegs and held myself back. Never had that feeling with the stock suspension!
 
The front springs will also help.



Note I used the manual. I borrowed the tools from Bishop (from the .com site). The OEM spriings aren't as progressively wound as the Progressive set.

Fork action is improved.
