New Suspension On the KLR!
 

I had already upgraded my rear shock with a Progressive one and loved it. Now was time to get my forks repaired and upgraded. One of the forks was leaking, so I got some All Balls seals and dust covers. I also got a pair of Progressive springs and Race Tech cartridge emulators.

I got it all back together over the weekend and have taken a couple brief test rides. The improvement is great. both front and rear suspension are soft yet very controlled. I'm a newb when it comes to dirt and off-road so this setup is totally foreign to me, but it seems to work well, so I'm anxious to get some off-road riding in to really experience the bike!

I have found that suspension upgrades are typically the best money spent on bike mods, really anything offroad oriented for that matter.

Progressive rear shocks, fork springs, and Race Tech emulators are the suspension setup I had on my GL1000. The difference in how it rode and handled was amazing, so I can imagine how your bike feels. It's why I spent the money on the YSS fork valves in my Hawk.
