Brisbane Fork Specialists

[cr0ft]

I bought the Progressive rear shocks off jcmotors.com and shipping via the USPS slow boat was reasonable.

They currently run a special on the front springs too, half of that $130 quoted here (unless you guys are talking Australian... which you may be....)

****. That's cheap. Do these fit the Touring, anyone know? I think these just went on my shopping list.

if you are going to do it yourself measure the oil that comes out just to be safe.

We should all get together and do it at the same time

That's them Mittzy. Pretty sure you'll need a spring compression tool if you do it yourself. Don't imagine it would need to be a Triumph specific tool , but I'm not 100% sure.
Pete maybe give OLIVERS TRIUMPH a call 31934444 .. get them to quote .. be cheaper than Team Moto I'd wager. Simon their Triumph mechanic knows what he's doing.

Thanks TC
Spoke to Oliver's, they thought Progressive were good but not as good as Racetec. Their comments were that progressive were an off the shelf option that didn't give much more performance than the standard spring. They get the Racetec spring manufactured to the riders weight and riding style. There Racetec option is about the same price as Peogressive. I think I'm going to spend some time looking into fitting Racetec.

Racetech only made shockies for the Touring model last time i looked (they were a very bright blue color) .. great if they make them for Roadsters now. They make top quality suspension components , way better than Progressives ... for our crappy goat-track roads i reckon.

Progressive fork springs are worth the effort.

I put the Progressives in my Roadster a year ago!
The improvement was WELL worth the effort and money.
Don't forget to get THE TOOL.
