    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Well this is an unusual post, first off if you have a 1982 GS1100EZ (GO GET FREAKING PROGRESSIVE FORK SPRINGS NOW)--they are awesome--unreal!!!

Anyway put them in last night, and was so impressed I just had to put some miles on them the following day. Sh#t I have to work--OH my boss said I had to burn a sick day --NO problem BUDDY :D:rolleyes:!! Feel sick now!!

Took the day off and met a buddy (CB guy) down at the shoreline, about 67 degrees in CT today. Found an awesome road that parallels the ocean and you can literally drive up to the sandy area--Anyway aside from the Awesome ride the moral of the story is that I feel like I have a new bike just by replacing the old oem springs--if you haven't--JUST do it -the best 70.00 you will spend!!!;)

The Racetech cartridge emulators, do a very nice job as well and make bigger diff than springs.

ya I should of looked into that, may be to late, the original springs on my bike would bottom out almost every bump, and waddle on all corners--so this is a HUGE change in riding with the new springs.
