progressive suspension fork springs installed

I just finished installing Progressive Suspension front springs. That
was childs play. I did not even take the forks off the bike.The only
part that was not childs play was cutting one of the spacers into two
pieces.I had a pipe cutter but it was dull and so it took a bit longer.
But it still only took about ten minutes from beginning to end.I could
not believe it really. I was expecting it to be a minor pain like a KLX
fork spring.
If everyone knew how easy it is to install those Progressive
Suspension fork springs on KLRs....Progressive would not be able to
make them fast enough.

Put about 15 lbs of air in the forks, and a TKC-80, and you will be amazed
how well the bike handles off road.
