Better Ride

[miller7346]

Just put on Progressive 11-1126 front springs on my 2004 Bonneville. At my weight of 230, the difference is really nice- no bottoming out on potholes! Will be putting on Progressive 440 shocks next month- can't wait to get the total package.

Be sure to let us know how it goes

That's good to hear
Did the installation go pretty smoothly?
I have the same springs for my '06 T100, but due to my domestic obligations here at home this winter, I haven't had the time to put them in.

Excellent. Upgrading the Bonnie's suspension makes a different bike out of it.

After reading so many threads about what to do and what not to do I didn't do it myself; I had a friend bike mechanic who did it in 45 min. I was concerned about putting new oil in but he said it is not necessary if you have under 20,000 miles on it which I do with 12k. Good luck with yours.

lol I think I would have taken the same route

It is not that difficult to put them in. The first time is definitely a learning experience, though.

Bonneville Suspension Update

Added the 440 Progressive rear shocks to the Progressive front springs on my 2004 Bonneville this past week. Our local VFW had a fund-raiser poker run of 120 miles over the weekend. We traveled on several MS and AL state 2 lanes and finished on I 20. To say the least, the ride was a different experience. No bottoming out on potholes and the handling- particularly on the Innterstate at high speeds was so much better. I highly recommend the Progressive suspension system- easy to install with great instructions. I did leave the OEM oil in the forks. The best by online was with One Stop Moto in CA. Talk to Dan about your particular needs; he is well informed and very patient- and they ship in 2 days with stock items!

Good to hear that the springs are all you expected

Very good, Ronnie. Better suspension really transforms the Bonneville family of bikes. It makes such a difference. Thanks for the report.
