    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.

I am going to install Progressive fork springs on my 80 1100E but the Clymer manual does not tell me how to remove the damper selector ring on the bottom of the leg. I don't want to break it. How does it remove and is there anything behind that that needs to be removed before I get to the allen bolt?

Thanks Drew
 
Not sure about on yours but on mine I didn't need to remove any of that to change the spring.....

You may need to in order to get the fork seals out but I did mine by air pressure. (Pumped air in with circlips removed till they popped out).

Yours has the preload knob on the bottom of the fork so I have no idea, someone else should have some idea so be patient
 
On my 82 the Dampening adjuster is above the axle caps. Ya dont have to F with it. Once the Axel caps, axle and wheel are off that 8mm bolt is right up in the bottom of the fork.
