Re: RR springs!

Yes, there is no tippiness I'd agree but as for articulation I am unimpressed. They seem very harsh and not to move freely - could this be down to the pro comp shocks I wonder. Perhaps I'm being unfair but the ride just seems too harsh all round.



FWIW Scorpion suggested that I wouldn't do much better than HD extra length as well which concurs with what you say.



I think I shall have a little play with jacks etc later on and see what sort of articulation I can get.



Thanks for the thoughts as all information helps.

Hiya Mike. I fitted pro comp 9000 on my classic a few years back.But i opted for 2" long travel ones to go with extra 2" springs from staff 4x4. Overall the ride was very comfy,A bit firmer on the cornering but could still feel the bumps. Offroad i had pretty good articulation too. My only complaint was one of the shocks gave up after only a couple of months,And the quality of the paint finish soon turns to rust. I have just fitted scorpions decarbon shocks with extra 2" and their springs to my 90.I am well pleased by on road manners. Cant comment on offroad because my engine is still dead.

Yes I have seen the Scorpion stuff but it is tad expensive - rather more than the 310 ukp all in for the pro comp 2" lift kit which uses the pro comps which I liked when I bought them for the series.

Time to think.

Mike
