Hey all -

Restoring an 81 Special:

I put in a set of new Progressive Suspension fork springs in my Maxim and it made a world of difference in improving handling and stability, as well as minimizing brake dive. IIRC they were less than 70$ and was money very well spent - Perhaps even more of a noticeable improvement than the 300$ Progressive rears I later installed as well.

But I digress, on the progressive site, i see none listed for the bike:

So if anyone has replaced theirs, what springs did you end up going with and how were they?

I'll be replacing the fork oil to 15wt as i did on my maxim as well (OEM recommendation being 10wt) but new oil wont cure the saggy, tuckered out springs that are in there currently.

Thanks much for everything!
