Progressive Suspension 444 shocks and fork springs

Good information, thanks. I'm about 60 pounds heavier than you, so I'm hoping the h.d. springs will work for me. What is the 110mm measurement referring to? Is that the distance from the top of the oil to the top of the fork tube, springs removed?
 
Yes with springs removed. I had the same issue could not find any info on how much oil with the new springs. I set my oil as prescribed in the manual and did just fine. Original fork seals still on the bike at 66,000 miles. Handles great. If the forks were over filled it would have blown a seal by now.
 
Seriously dude, you may be my brother from another mother. But you're letting us normal sized guys down with the kitty cats.
I advise all not to Google 'normal sized guys' !

But for R3 dimensions I found .........twins!




Warning Lupe @mexican you had better sell the Suzuki before this happens!

You got it, the 110mm is the "air gap" if you will, from the top of the fork tube to the oil level with springs removed.
 
I can't tell you my experience. But i bought the set and they will be installed next month. Maybe when the weather is good at the end off the year i can tell you my experience
 
I changed both front and rear to progressives. 444's in the rear made a huge difference. I used the OEM spacer as recommended but had to switch to the provided plastic spacer. When I hit large bumps, while riding, I'm getting a banging/rattling noise in the forks. What causes this and how do I fix it?
 
Sounds like loose hardware. Could be the lower fork covers. Anything that they might have loosened to take the tubes out.

I did them myself. Being a former industrial maintenance tech I made sure everything went back in place, filled, measured, torqued, and no leftovers. I've done this, before, to two other bikes, and everything was smooth as silk. I'm stumped.
