I have a couple sets in stock I'd do a special,one time only 15% discount if one of you want to try them. I was going to put them on my demo when they came out but then found out they only fit 05 and newer and it was an 04. I may put a set on my 06 Firebolt demo but I haven't got the exhaust and remapping done on it yet either! |

Dave, I'd be interested in a set but first, let me get an idea if it's worth the headache, the cost is fairly inexpensive, the labor is more of a bitch...hopefully someone has this kit and could comment on its worthiness |

Robino, Are you planning on doing any track time with the Buell??? Or will you be just using it on the street??? |

well, for one, i hate mushy suspension not to mention, i'm 225 lbs and even stiff stock suspension feels mushy. Are the spring rates that high? I would be doing 90% track type street riding |

Just a note on the springs- the pro-series springs have a linear rate, while the stock springs have a progressive rate. If you're looking for a stiffer solo ride the springs should be a good choice, but for big weight changes like carrying a passenger the pro-series kit may be worse than stock. |

Speaking of the Pro Series suspension, does anyone know where to find a higher rate progressive spring to replace the stock spring? I am a bit on the heavier side and have noticed a lot of squat during turn in and hard acceleration. |

I have the kit on my 2004 lightening but had to swap out the fork springs because of the diff. in diam. I played with the settings some. It def. corners better & doesnt 'dive' in turns as much but it does have a choppier ride. you can reaaly feel tarstrips on the highway, I think it was worth it personally, |
