FWIW - on your Connie - recheck the directions that came with your
Progressives - it might give you a different fork oil fluid level than
OEM since Progressive springs tend to displace more fluid than stock.
If you did not re-set that level upon installation, you might blow a
seal. Progressives in all my bikes - love em.
We had a similar discussion on RT valve emulators on the VFR list - not
a lot of technical people on that list - but the consensus of those that
did it was - the RT valves are not hard to install, but they may require
redrilling to get the "proper" valving. If that's the case, take some
care to find a "good" RT authorized shop that has experience with RT.
Just because they attended the RT training, doesn't mean that they're
good.
Good luck - the RT's sound like a great mod!
