Anyone around the DFW area ever install a set of Progressive fork springs I could use some adult supervision oh and I will provide some CRB's for said supervision.

I have a set I need to do too.  I have the fork tool and the instructions, just never have tried it.  It looks fairly easy, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.  Maybe we need to have a tech session soon and take care of them...

I can probably do tomorrow(Sunday) midday/afternoon. I know that's really short notice for everyone though.. After this weekend I will only be available every other Sunday(for weekends) and Mon and Tues afternoons. I assume everyone will want to do this on a weekend day....By the beginning of June(possibly sooner) I should have most every weekend open.....
