Ikon 7610 Shocks and Progressive Fork Springs for Triumph Bonneville T120.

My opinion on the ride of my Triumph Bonneville T120 after fitting replacement shock absorbers and front fork springs,

THanks for sharing your thoughts on the 7610's! Much appreciated.

Nice northern accent. I miss that living down here in Devon. We have similar roads also. Great review. I am installing hyperpro progressives soon. I can imagine the upgrade you have made will improve "wet winter weather "

It makes you wonder how Triumph could get things so wrong. I could get lost on some of those roads up there.

Just ordered a pair of 7614's for my '13 CB1100. I'm also fitting Andreani cartridges in the front. So pumped to try them out. How much did the fork springs being set for your weight improve the front end on your Triumph?

Hi, With the standard OEM front fork springs the bike tended to wallow about a little in the corners on poor road surfaces. They also bottomed out on undulating surfaces with a right bang. Fitting the progressive springs has improved things remarkably and combined with the rear shocks, the handling is much improved. Regards Andy

@@peakbiker awesome.

Did you use the same amount of fork oil? Tks

[@peakbiker]

Hi, Yes, I used the same volumes of fork oil, 434cc according to the manual for the T120, it varies by model. Regards Andy

Nice video! Quick question: By Progresive Fork springs, you mean those supplied by IKON or by the "Progressive Suspension" company? Thanks

[@peakbiker]

Hi Ondrej, Progressive springs as supplied by Ikon. A lot of manufacturers make them for the T120. Regards Andy
