Progressive Fork Springs for the Z fits multiple machines

[Billy Golightly]

So I'm getting ready to do some suspension work on my Z and was browsing on Dennis Krik for the Progressive Suspension front springs, and I see a little thing that says "See a list of all machines this part fits" and it brought a page with this on it:

Thats a whole lot of different models. They are showing as out of stock now but arriving soon. I'm mentioning this because it seems like there is a good chance the progressive front fork springs will be around for a LONG time if they are made to fit that many different models. It shows as as being the same for the 350x and the 2nd generation 250R's, as well as the first gen Tecates.

Personally I didn't know you could get progressives for the first generation T3's but now I do and I might get some one day for mine :D

I bought a set for mine a while back, installed them a lil while ago and they are indeed stiffer and a pain to install the fork caps with them in. I think the major part of the intechangeabiltity is that with different bikes there are different preload spacers used.
