Hi All,
I have had my XII for about two months now , after a weeklong road trip to Vermont I am upgrading to a Progressive suspension, my question is when changing fork springs do I leave the air lines hooked up and in place or do they get removed and capped off somehow? And which part # for fork springs do I order?
Thanks
Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Leave the front airlines hooked up. Change fork fluid to

Re: progressive fork spring question
Doug Hope you had a good ride! The front springs are progressive part #11-1102 for 88-03. Just leave the air lines as they were originally. No air needed after you replace the originals. What a difference!

Re: progressive fork spring question
FYI, even with no air pressure in the forks they are sealed and build air pressure when they are compressing. 
That is why the oil level makes a difference
