    Advice, feedback and opinion for best suspension upgrade for 05 Lowrider?

    Currently running Progressive 418 series. Harsh and ineffective.

    Have a look at the new Progressive 970's.

    They are the same as the Ohlins.

    I have Ohlins front and rear and a true track.

    I think I replied to you on another forum saying I genuinely believe the True Track stuff is well and truly worth the money if you ride hard.  People will poo poo that but I stand by it.  I noticed the difference.  I will have my Fat Bob for a long time but I crack a smile every time I look at that swingarm attached to a rubber mounted engine.

    The Ohlins are better but I can't say how much better yet because I had some set up issues.  Basically both ends were undersprung as sent so I had to get it sorted out.  This has been done but I've been O/S for a few months and haven't ridden the bike yet.  I can give you an honest opinion on it when I get back at the end of Feb. 

    Is it rude to ask where you are?  If you're around Brisbane you might be able to have a look at it yourself.

     Hey Guzzy4v,

    Im in central Victoria. Thanks heaps for the offer but distance might be an issue :)

    Still unsure what way to go! Need to do something soon. It's like I'm riding a rigid with rear shocks!

    reasearch the race tech straight rate springs for the front with emulators, steering damper and true track, Icon have a similar sytem to Ohlins at a cheaper price then you will eat up the miles in comfort
