Fork oil too thick,or spring spacer?

[Steve]

I'm still undecided on p vs s?

I might be a bit "undecided", too, so let's just take a quick look at what has been posted in this thread alone. :-k

Having ridden both, I prefer the Sonic springs.

As I mentioned in post #2, I have had both, and prefer Sonic.

​As for the P vs S issue ... I have tried them both and prefer the Sonic springs with proper pre-load spacer

I'll add another vote for the Sonic Springs and regular 10w fork oil is all you really need in my opinion

If you are still undecided, consider this:
Progressive springs are available directly from Progressive (<-- click link) for $92.95 and up.
They are available from Z1 Enterprises for just under $96.
They are available on eBay for $87.30

Sonic springs are available directly from Sonic for $84.95.

They are less expensive and highly recommended here. What more do you need? :-\\\

Well, they say you can lead a horse to water, although most would rather ride it.

According to my local weather,yesterday was the last day in the 60s.
I took a 20 mile ride, on the no spacer,8.5oz atf mod.
Strange as it sounds, it's better than before I Started?
Only difference being the atf.
Now when I drained the fork oil ( really looked like black 50wt goo) I only got bout 4-5 Oz out of each leg.
I then tried spacer and 10w oil,too much preload, drained that, it came out black also, flushed with 4-5 Oz atf until late it came out clean. I think the amount or lack their of oil was the major problem.
I evidently didn't oil the forks when I built the bike?
It's pretty good now,nice and plush and the drop after wot shutdown has lessened!
I might not change springs it's nice now!
Thanks for All!
And if I do try springs they will be Sonic, majority rules!
