    Dumb Question (progressive springs)

    So one of my fork seals is leaking. I figure while I have them apart, I ought to replace the fork springs with new progressives.

    Now for the dumb question part. Are you ready for it?...

    Do the progressive springs come as a pair, or do I need to order two separate springs?

    The springs in question are below:


    Thanks.

        mine came as a pair also. you will need to pre load them when you install as a replacement to stock. I use (2) pieces of hollow bronze bar stock to preload the springs. I think the instructions call for a piece of pvc pipe.
        they make a big difference on the highway and around town. i commute 90 miles round trip on teh highway most days.

          Mine came as a pair and had the necessary PVC pipe packaged with it. I determined my preload and cut the pipe to fit. Also, many here recommend not using any air pressure in the forks.
