    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Nice! Mine arrived yesterday!

Such a great price and not that slow of shipping! Chalk one up for http://www.powersportsuperstore.com/

Course, I just started a new job and my wife is leaving town for a week while I play Mr. Mom, so I'm going be staring at the boxes for a little bit, but now I've got almost everything I need.

Soooo would this be a bad time to tell you I won a set of nice used progressives for $35 on ebay?? :p
 
Prices do look good but I cant figure how to do a search for front and/or rear shocks for my GS1100G and GS1150 EFE with spring rates for 260lbs + mounted on them
 
I just called Progressive on the phone. Their tech guy gave me options at a bunch of price ranges (based on their list price). Then I just found the lowest price retailer for the model I wanted.

Check out their website before you call - it'll give you a range of options for your rides so you can know what the teach is talking about when they start throwing part #'s at you.

Colin,

I agree...I spent lots of time trying to find spring rates for 13" shocks in the models that are already assembled...finally gave up and just called them...think I'm going with 12 series (13") with 120/170 springs on my GKZ...I'll have to put them together...they have to be an improvement over my blown stockers!

Good luck,

Thanks COGS,

I'll have another look and maybe give them a call.:D
 
OK, the shocks are on. They went on like buttah, and actually took no time because I needed to replace my rear tire anyway

I haven't done a test ride yet because I'm still helmetless. Hopefully by the weekend. And Saturday I'm rebuilding the forks with Progressive springs and new seals as well.
