My W has over 130,000 miles on it now, and I am thinking about replacing the front springs with Progressive springs. James Franklin 904 762-8384 (cell) 2006 Honda GL 1800 Gold Wing 2000 Kawasaki

The springs are original, I don,t remember the length of the original spacers , but if they are 4 inches , then yes my homemade spacers are 5 inches long. 100% improvement on handling plus less risk

An inch longer, so you put in 5 inch spacers? These are from progressive suspension part 11-1129?

I made spacers that were one inch longer than stock standard out of a length of pipe of the same dia, ( can't remember the length ) and only that. No noises and 100% better front suspension. Remember

Did you use a 2 inch spacer? Any noises when you ride? I had a shop put mine in when they rebuilt the suspension and they make a noise now.? I cut the spacers for them but... maybe the oil level is

Pat, If you’re talking about the Asahi Windscreen, no I did not. I ordered from WeBike in Japan. The price to order from Amazon was much higher when I ordered mine . It took several months, as I

Hi Sorry to bother you. Do you order from Amazon?

Folks, thanks so much to everyone for all their suggestions. I have two leads I'm currently pursuing, and if either of them work out, I'll take photos and post the details. Sam -- *Sam Malkinson*

You can always buy one on Amazon and return it if it doesn't fit. -- 2000 W650

I've looked for years online for one of these for the W650 and W800 and couldn't believe no one makes one consider how popular they were overseas but I never did fine one.? Thought about welding one

I like that idea, can I steal it?

I used to live in a rural area so I often parked on dirt. I have a square piece of metal I keep in the tank bag. I drilled a hole in one corner and attached a piece of string with a loop on the other

I agree with you both, got a clamp on foot on my CB500X and it helps in soft sand or grass, but the added size, if too large, causes problems when the stand is up. On the other hand, often just choose
