Santa brought my Progressive fork springs for Christmas to finish out my hybrid fork mods, and the results seemed worth sharing with the group.
I got Progressive springs 11-1114, listed for the TT500, based off the technical specs on their website, and installed them this afternoon. On road feel was definitely improved, particularly over the little bumps in the road & quarter round curbs. Can't say much for the off road performance yet, but I sincerely doubt that I'll bottom out the front end as often as I have been.
In the pic below are three sets of springs/spacers:
Top: '87 YZ80
Middle: '06 TW200
Bottom: Progressive 11-1114 & spacer cut to match the YZ80 total length
Notice that the Progressive springs sans spacer are the same length as the TW spring & spacer.
So for those of you looking for an alternative to the OE front suspension, these might be worth looking at.
Cheers,
