installed new front progressive springs

I here something from the front when turning them on. I haven't taken the fairing off yet, is it behind there? Ed A15

last weekend while camping on swannee river (north fl) - made it a point to haul ass down a very bad road (before) and (after) new spring install. (Before) trip did some panic breakin, ended up in trees, over logs, bottomed out - (you know)... (After) trip hauled ass down same dirt road with 3' pot holes, ruts, dead trees, etc. etc. and never lost it. Huge improvement when ridin off - also helped cornerin on hard road and break dive.... Any newbees to klr like myself who have not done this yet, the progressive springs are best $80 bucks you will spend on this bike (that I know of)... Especially if you 250+ like myself. Put 10 weight oil in and used 2" pvc for spacers (flush - did not need to compress springs to re-install caps). Ordered from Arrowhead showed up in three days just in time for holiday weekend - thanks fred....

It's under the gas tank, right side. Paul Streeter
