Thank you for your service!🇺🇸 Looks like you got some nice riding areas to really put them springs to work! Another informative video as well.

BykerJB Thank you! The Colorado Rockies are great!

Nice! Mine are coming in tomorrow. Getting ready to install. Congrats!

Yazir Nauhm-Barrios They are good. Just takes a little while to perfectly tune them. Hopefully this video speeds it up for people! It is a very easy install

[@yenb86]

@@gravesruIt surely will! I wonder if I really need the coil compressor. Could you just remove preload and compress by hand to remove the c clip?

[@gravesru]

Yazir Nauhm-Barrios That might be possible, just will take a lot longer. I had a friend who used two ratchet straps to compress the springs. A little dangerous, but effective.

Loving your Videos my wife's 1000R arrives in 2 weeks!!

Could you comment on the improvement you realized from this upgrade? How much better is the ride over the stock springs? Have you noticed any downside to the upgrades springs?

[@gravesru]

Chuck Gillespie It really depends on how you adjust them. Factory settings with the new springs are about 30% smoother riding. The springs make a huge difference for $600. The only downside is Corning, they don’t handle as well because of the softer springs.

Will this spring kit work on a Talon X? Mine rides very rough. A little more ground clearance and a softer ride would be nice.

[@gravesru]

Shock therapy has a spring set for the X. I highly recommend them!

Thanks for video. I have had some work done on mine by another shock guy. I'm still not happy with rear springs. I would like to know from you the height and spring rates of both the upper and lower rear springs so I can compare it to mine. Thanks for your help.

I currently have my ride height at 17” in the front & rear. Mine will be different because I now have a rear spare tire rack hanging off the rear tailgate.
