Suspension replacement

caveman · 01-30-2012, 05:26 PM

Ok, So I want to replace the suspension on the Ultra. I have been looking around and seem to be set on the Progressive Suspension Monotube cartridge drop in's for the fronts and the 440 series for the rear. Progressive

There is also Traxxion Just not sure where to get or cost, as it aludes to being dealer installed parts

If you have suggestion on these one way or the other would be greatly appreciated. Or if you have other ideas to use that also would be great.

Thanks

If money isn't an issue, go for Traxxion. You won't regret it. If you're doing it on a budget or by yourself, go the Progressive route. It'll be an improvement, but not the Cadillac of suspension.

Progressive all the way....

Front drop in's like you said...

Rear go with the 970

And the important part to note is to go with the gas charged setups. This means no future maintenance.

I have Progressive fork springs in my old GS1000 and Works Performance shocks. They work great together. If you have air shocks and don't like them, you can change to a heavier oil or get air shocks from Works Performance: http://www.phatperformanceparts.com/...tracker-hd.htm

Hey Gas,

You need to read the details on the 970's thats not for our bike.....

Whatever you choose.....
DO NOT forget the shock light. Anything less would be uncivilized.

I can't remember which model... I would just re-ask Tim. But seriously, to not run the gas charged versions would be not good.

You really should post your question on TWM.

Oh and their website blows...
