I'm going to be riding a 650 Prairie for it's sportier abilities this Sunday and I was wondering if there was a simple way to jerry-rig some kind of stiffening on the front shocks to eliminate the front end roll in hard corners. Any ideas that may work are welcome. Thanks!

 

I would also like to hear something on that subject. Is there a preload adjust?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

I had a problem scrubing on the front. I took the two lower strut bolts loose (the bottom bolt is inset 1/8" and must be removed to do this) droped the spindel 3/4". put the top bolt back in. Find a drill the same size as the bottom hole run the drill in to make the hole round agan. put top bolt back in reasemble all . 3/4" font lift.

 

I know the rear shock can be adjusted pretty easily, but is there a way to pre-adjust the front shocks, like how the rear is with just turning the shock?

 

I wondered about making some kind of spacer or even a threaded sleeve witha big washer and nut to adjust it to put more tension on the springs. Has anyone tried something like this.

 

Just buy the ELKA springs. They will ship them to you in three days and they only cost $225. They are a cinch to put in, plus you can set them up any way you want them.

 

What's the difference between Elkas, and Progressives?
