What's your opinion of the progressive's vs. the stock springs?

HI
my stock springs were 5mm under spec.the progressives dont need air and just that alone is a plus.the ride is much better as i put a tkat fork brace on at the same time.

Agree with you there Jim -

My Progressive springs and spacers went in at the beginning of the year and I really think they've improved things - although very limited mileage this year because of other glitchs and not much garage time. So the Tkat brace was a good move then?

I had Progressive springs put in during June of 2001, many thousands of miles on them since. OEM springs were sagging and needed to be replaced anyway. I had put on a Tkat fork brace earlier in the season, and together with the new springs the improvment in handling was quite pronounced.

The XJ has a token fork brace built into the fender, so not as much improvement when Tkat brace was added, but still noticeable.

yep
the ktat fork brace and progressive springs are the best solution to xs1100 front end problems
