    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

fork spring question

Getting ready to replace fork seals. Not knowing what the PO did if anything, how can I tell if the springs are stock or aftermarket? If they are stock I would like to replace them with progressives. Sound like a good idea?

Thanks for any help you guys can offer.
 
Hi,

Have a look at my Progressive spring upgrade guide. You'll see the differences in the springs, spacers, etc.

Thank you for your indulgence,

The best front fork mod I know of is an emulator conversion
Little bit more work but the results are amazing:D
 
Yes progressives, are a great mod you can feel. The improvement in ride quality will amaze you.
 
Thanks fellas, I knew I could count on you.

Basscliff, your site is awesome. If a member has trouble with anything, it is not because you left something out.
Great site and great instructions. Thank you much.
