Just fitted WP progressive fork springs to my T Bird and started to notice lighter front end handling (yes there was an earlier topic re this).

WP advised me this is quite often the case as the weight is pushed further back on the bike, particularly on acceleration. They advise upping the compression and maybe even a little preload to compensate. However, as we all know, standard T BIirds have no rear suspension adjustment! Not sure whether I have traded one problem in for another, although I am very happy the bike doesnt nose dive anymore under barking.

Just for info in case of similar projects.
