Great springs great buy

2002 II00 shadow Spirit: Installed springs in about 2 hours. Changed fork oil from 10W to 15W as others have done who installed these springs. make sure you buy length of 1inch schedule 40 pvc as the spacer that is sent with springs is not long enough to make 2 spacers or as in the case of my bike I could have if I wanted to cut orginial spacers down to fit as the instructions said I could do. i chose to use the PVC .Also helps if you have a buddy to press down on ratch as you tighten fork caps back on, one person fighting that spring is tricky.My bike rides so much better now! , When i lean hard into turns the bike no longer gets that mushy wandering feeling which i thought was normal for this bike since i bought it in 2002. Where were these springs back then!!

Nice Improvement

Easy to install. Took about 2 Hours. Way better ride than stock springs. Added benifit for me as I have a full stereo fairing adding weight to my front end.

I think I'm gonna love 'em

I knew my old springs were shot...I had way too much dive when braking...not anymore...curves are going to be a lot more fun.

I had these installed by the dealer so I really can't rate how easy the install is. These are definite improvement over stock. They may be a little stiff for some people but I like them.

Installing these springs along with Progressive 412 shocks gave me a new bike. Handles and rides great! Wish I had done these upgrades sooner.

HUGE bang for the buck! Front end dive under heavy braking is virtually gone, what little remains is much smoother and more controlled. Handling in the corners is also greatly improved. The tire stays firmly planted to the road over all the cracks, potholes, manhole covers, etc. Hands down one of the best upgrades I've done to date, I only wish I had installed these years ago.

Eliminates the tendency to dive on braking. Excellent modification - especially when combined with a Progressive rear shock.

A "REQUIRED" item for the 3rd Gen Magna! Stops the nose dive and gives a great feel for the road. Very nice!

denny9526 is a Top 10 Reviewer

This was the single most desirable item I installed on my bike! Its made a world of difference in the elimination of front end dive and cornering ability that never was like the stock set! I also customized the PVC pre-load spacers to different lengths (1/4") makes a big difference I used 3.75" or 4" pre-load PVC spacers for my weight and riding characteristics! I also used Bel-Ray 15 weight fork oil and this is also a better solution over the stock 10 weight oil! Also I used a Mity-Vac brake bleeding device with a 3 foot piece of 1/4"copper tubing and some 1/4"-3/8" clearing tubing on the Mity-vac to the copper tube to suck the "OLD" oil out! No need to remove the Vulcans forks this was much easier to do just makr sure bike is on a lift to take pressure of of forks!

Had problem with custom Harley Guard that is fitted and hitting light bar due to fork spring travel prior to fitting progressive springs. NOW BETTER than a new bike with no real noticeable difference when riding.

WOW! It's like a brand new ride again. No more mushy front end or dive when going into the turns. Awesome product! The guys at the shop mentioned I would be amazed and they were right!
