Walcrow,
My first bike was an '81 GL1100 standard. New to me in 1997.
I put Progressive springs into it one day and the ride difference was amazing.
Didn't know about, and even if I did, I couldn't afford, a Traxxion upgrade at that time.

Fast Forward to 2017.
Got really tired of the front end "wet sponge", "wet mop" effect in turns on the F6B.
Progressive was an option, but all my Wing friends told me to go Traxxion.
Buy once, cry once.

I know she is now much truer, and hence safer to ride.
She tracks like she's on rails.

I am looking forward to your first trip report on the stock F6B, and your encyclical diatribe after several spirited jaunts with the Traxxion upgrade.

You coming to the Rally?
Would like to share notes with your on the suspension.

Cheers,
Steve
