That I can't answer. My SpeedMaster specific Progressive springs (11-1145) were a "touch" longer than my OEM straight rate springs. I'm talking less than .5" but didn't take an exact measurement.

$66.79 including shipping - thanks for finding those!

How hard is the swap gonna be? I guess I'll find out!

Well if they are longer then OEM by a touch it is fine then, right? Because if they are shorter then you would have to make spacers, at least that what I understand. As far as the rear shocks, yeah talked to my dealership again, and he said they were running a special for the rear shocks and that they were very good quality for what he can tell.

Not a problem at all. The swap is time consuming, but fairly easy. I just did mine last Friday.

I don't see any problem with them being a bit longer. Mine actually stated reusing the OEM spacers, but I added Thruxton adjustable preload fork caps. I had to make PVC pipes that were 25mm shorter than the OEM steel units. Still no big deal. If you're not doing as I did, you'll reuse the OEM spacers... plug-n-play!
