Progressive Heavy Duty Fork Springs for GL1500
ITEM CODE: TR771522, SKU: TR771522

Excellent upgrade!
My front forks on my 96 GL1500SE were leaking and I knew that it was going to be a big job to fix it. I was originally going to buy racetech emulators but the installation seemed overwhelming and my local shop wanted a fortune to do the job. I installed these springs, new fork seals (kit from wingstuff) and it transformed my bike. No more front end dives during braking and more responsive. I used 10 weight fork oil and added no air to the shocks and they are perfect for me (250 pound guy). I never did a job like this before but I followed the tutorial on Steve Saunders forum and completed the job without any snags. I found compressing the springs to be easy, I did it myself and just marked where the thread began on the fork. Great upgrade-this fixed the one issue I had with the bike-I will keep this bike forever! |
Fork Oil

perfect for completing fork seal job on 96 gl1500
Ordering one of these gave me the perfect amount to complete my fork seal replacement/spring upgrade. The oil is blue in color which is nice in the future, if I find some oil on my bike I will know if it is a fork issue due to the blue color. |
OEM Factory Fork Seal/Bushing Kit for GL1500

Very complete-makes the job easy
This was my first time changing fork seals and this kit made it easy, it included parts that I normally wouldn't think about ordering (washers and bolts) but needed to be replaced. Please check the kit when you receive it-mine was picked wrong and required me to call customer service. Tom at customer service was very helpful and got me the part I needed right away to finish the job. |
Tour Windshields w/or without Vent for GL1500

What a great deal-wish I did it sooner!
I was hesitant to order this windshield since the price was so reasonable. I took a chance since wingstuff has great return poliices. I like this better than the stock windshield; it is a bit larger so I don't have to raise it up (always slid down on my 1996 SE after a few miles). Mounting took me about 40 minutes and I only needed a philips head screwdriver. Put the vent on before you mount the windshield and it will be a breeze. |
