Here she is, I named her, "the Wanderer "

[mcgovern61]

I replaced my shocks with aftermarket progressive style coil spring shocks and I could not be happier!

That type of shock works well enough, that's what was on my old Triumph, no air, with the same type of wrench. k: Handy enough without saddle bags to move or remove to adjust! :good:

 

[mcgovern61]

Hey Tim, PM sent about the locks!

 

[canuckxxxx]

I just replaced the springs in my OE shocks with Progressives. It was pretty cheap and really firmed up the back end. I still run about 20 lb air pressure where as I used to run 50 lb.

I just installed Progressive 412s on mine. After a couple hundred miles, I really like them. The best price I found was $234 (I think) from Speed Addict cycles on Ebay. The only drawback, as others have said, is that you can't change the adjustment once you put the bags back on.

Set em & forget em, :yes: glad you like them :good:

[mcgovern61]

Feebay does come in handy.

Yes it does ! I've purchased so much from there over the years, I could start my own ebay except it would be called, "wingbay" :Egyptian: :Egyptian:

 

[Denver]

Soon as you sell a part, you'll need it, :roll: if your luck is like mine. :hihihi:

 

[slabghost]

Nice seat! Putting any miles on her yet?

 

[made2care]

No miles yet. My wife is very sick. Next 6 months is going to be tough

 

[slabghost]

Sorry to know that. Take care as best you can. Bad enough here when wife has a cold.

Thank you. Don't want to get too personal, as I'm sure some members on here have been affected by the "C" word too. I know medical scientists are on the cusp of many breakthroughs using immunotherapy and various gene altering approaches, however, when you are experience this firsthand, it seems as though these clinical trials are moving along at a snails pace.
One of the reasons why I purchased "The Wanderer", was simply to help cope but at that time she was in remission and presently, that is no longer the case. I will be there for her 100% and maybe someday we can hop on "the Wanderer" together, in good health, appreciating the beauties of this land.
