So how do you like the progressives? Are they a big improvement over stock? The bike I just bought came with a new set in the box.

The Progressive branded progressive spring is better than the stock spring but not by much at all as it still allows for far too much brake dive or rapid compression under big bumps in the road. The Concours is a big heavy girl and her smaller sized front end takes a lot of abuse and in my opinion is better served with straight rate springs, reasonably light weight oil, perhaps enlarged damping holes or better yet tuned with Cart Emulators, also be sure to not put in too much fork oil as too high of a level will make her ride harshly due to over compression.
