You need to call Progressive Sports. I needed the springs so my sidecar rides more stiffly. Hope this helps. In the past, I just used the recommended size for my bike. **BG** **BG** Greg
Selected User Reviews For Progressive Suspension 11-1576 Fork Spring Kit
I found installation to be simple. I'll just say this- I did a shoddy job of fitting the jack because I used a Harbor freight atv jack and a variety Fork springs were explained in clear and easy to follow instructions, and if one desires, there are many videos on the internet that show how to replace them. For my bike (2015 Indian Scout), I used Progressive's 20W fork oil, so one quart was enough. It was obvious I had improved when I took the Scout for a test drive after I had finished. Previously, I thought the Scout was a nimble bike, but now it seems like it pivots almost in front of you. As I reached for the brakes, the bike no longer dived like a French soccer player nor did it bottom out the front suspension like before. While driving down a hill, I intentionally drove over the biggest potholes I could find (not hard, it is Spring in the upper Midwest) and I honestly didn't It took all of my strength to move the handlebars! In general, they are worth every penny and will be a great investment for you!.
Using a 2 inch spacer instead of a 1 1/2 inch spacer as suggested because my octane sits too low and would reach the red zone of 10% before bottoming out. My stock spacer is 4 inches and the stock springs are.
In the headline, it is clear what's at issue. In both Indian Scout and Victory Octane, the springs are too soft to do the job and the front end dives into the wheel wells under heavy braking. When installing these with a 10-inch tablet We saw a remarkable improvement in handling and ride quality after using weight fork oil. Almost everything is a corner or a rough highway. One of the first upgrades you should make to your Victory Octane or Indian Scout is this upgrade.
I couldn't believe how much better the bike was with progressive springs. I feel like I have a brand new bike with no pogo stick front end and bending across a curve is like As far as bottoming out the forks are concerned, the smallest bumps and irregularities no longer cause problems. Don't wait to get these if you have the crap stock springs. You will enjoy your better riding Indian Scout once you have them installed.
It has been installed and is.
The Scout and Octane should both have been equipped with this from the factory.
He does an excellent job! The installation process is simple. Native Voices Indian Scout 2016.
