Any of the Brothers or Sisters on this site who have the X or are considering the X should really look into swapping out the front springs and rear shocks. I don't really know what else is out there because i got a great deal on Progressive Brand stuff for my bike.
I got my Progressive springs installed today and cut the spacer short so it would drop 1"in the front and in the process was able to work out a deal with Stump for a set of 11.5" rear progressive shocks. This gave me about about 3/4" to 1" drop on the rear, it settles to a good 1" drop with my fat ass on it.
The rears were also painted black on the ends and the center and it just sets them off.
Man, it makes a world of difference in the handling, no more nose diving, waffling in the corners, etc. I've only got to put about 25 miles on them tonight but i am hoping to get some real road testing in over the weekend.
