Just installed the progressive 07 springs in my o6 Uly. I don't have the manual for a 07. Can anyone with a 07 tell me the recommend settings for the forks on the 07 for a 200lb rider per the manual?

Thanks!

There you go!

Let us know how you like it. I'm going to swap a set into my 06.

I did it years ago. Wasn't "missing" anything or wishing the handling was better but did it "because".

Wow. What a difference. I've been very pleased.

I'm hoping it cures the fork dive on my 06.

Now I'm really looking forward to this upgrade. I hate fork dive with a passion.

Where have you been buying the 07 springs from? Looking at american sport bike and they dont have them, or I am missing them. what is the part number - I think I am going to pick up a set - the dive is driving me nuts.

Whats the part number? I will try to get them from Surdyke. My local HD stealerships are in denial that the Buell brand ever existed. I had to ride to Boise (345 miles one way) a year ago for a recall issue. It was a good ride so I wont complain too much.

That's the right part number and I ordered mine from Surdyke. Less than 45 bucks for the pair delivered. I have the same issue as Jeff in Salt Lake. The dealer here, Harley Davidson of Tucson is completely useless unless you have 20 grand for a new bike and even then your warranty has questionable value. Although if you are willing to pay 4 or 5 hundred bucks they will install a tire for you.
