Progressive Suspension just released their Front Spring Kit with Pre-load Adjustment for
the Kawi 650, part number is 31-2006. Check their website www.progressivesuspension.com.

There's the link. $170 is a small price to pay if you ask me, for adjustable shocks much needed for the 650. Maybe we could set up a group purchase if we can get alot of people interested.

The parts from Prog. Susp. are only the springs that go around the shock, or strut, not the
shock itself. They also make a 512 Series shock and strut combo, but not yet for the Prairie
650.

Yes the springs should be enough since they are what holds the front end up not the struts. Struts like shock only dampen the bounce and keep your wheels in contact with the ground for traction.
