Progressive Front Suspension

[broncsrule21]

I use the progressive front, big difference for me. Really helps in bumpy corners.

Just made a dealer appointment for 23000 mile service. Tires, handlebar risers and all balls steering. Now I am wondering if I should also do the progressive forks while it's there.
Always looking for a smoother ride.......

If your planning on doing the work you indicated, most definitely up-grade the front forks etc....Unless you are going to sell the bike soon I would not spend the money, but if you keep it a while I would consider the money well spent..I am leaning more towards the Traxxion springs, but they both make a difference, or so I am told...I planned to do it last month, but now am going to wait until Spring of next year, unless I move to another bike...Regards and ride safe

I have the Monotubes. Put them in myself. I also changed out the head bearings to the tapered All Balls bearing. The ride is definitely improved. With the monotubes , bearings, Superrace and Helibars, my front end is tight and tracks beautifully.

Besides what I wrote already, full disclosure:
Isleen has the Traxxion "Mega-Monty" package installed.
Would not trade it for anything.

Thank you for the info. I will find out how much extra the dealer wants for adding this.

To Traxxion a Full wing Front and rear it runs about $3500. F6B I not sure because of difference in rear. I did Progressive front cartrages and wish I would have went Traxxion. This on my full wing.

Traxxion is definitely not for everyone.
Needs and feel as well as future time on the F6B need to be considered.

However, DO the AllBalls steering head bearing!
I cannot emphasize how much smoother the whole turning process becomes.
I have ridden an F6B with just the bearings, Progressive Monotubes, and Helibars (that brace across the middle of the bars tightens things up) - it's definitely a noticeable improvement in feel and control.
JimmyT rides about as hard as anyone I know and he has that setup, plus the Airshock in the back.

In the ballroom dance that IS our ride with our bikes, the smoother your inputs are to her and the smoother her responses back to you, the more elegant the dance will be.
Cheers,

If you have the coin, go with Traxxion.

If you have the coin, go with Traxxion.

I read from many on this board that the Traxxion "full monty" is the way to go for those that ride hard and want a better road feel....But it is really worth it to put $3500 into a bike, mine is a 2013, that is currently only worth $9,000???...I think I will pass as my riding days are becoming less as I get older...Maybe just the front forks and AllBAlls bearings will work for me....I will give it some more thought over the winter and if I keep my bike, maybe I'll pop for the cash!!...Regards
