    I'm going with a set of Fournales this year on my '07 Fatty, can someone give a little advice on what to do/how to beef up my front end. It's got all stock shocks and the forks haven't been touched. As you can tell by my profile shot, i'm not exactly tiny, Any advice would be appreciated

    Hey Mate
    I fitted a set of Works Performance Springs to the front on my '07 FXST
    Made the world of difference.
    They actually give you 3 different crossover springs to customize the performance for your riding style and rider weight.
    I was blown away by the difference that such a small thing can make.
    And there made in USA .. not like Progressive, which are now made in Mexico.

    hi, race tech make very good springs also try & keep away from dual rate springs  just go single rate  good brand type ,   i machine mag wheel valve stems into ( chrome of course)  into the top fork tube cap & run 10 - 12  lbs air  only , as  this will help sharp  brake dive as well . when you buy the rears buy the pump also so you can adjust them  it's no good having air rears without any way to adjust ,

    Thanks for for the replys folks, Crackers, um, man, i just don't know what to say, other than thanks for the advice!!!!!! The fournales ain't cheap, and i know i have to purchase the pump as well. It'll be worth it i'm told.
