They are amazing.  However, if you do not replace the rear shocks, as well, you will notice their shortcomings...  Just an FYI.  Front and rear suspensions work hand-in-hand.  Even if your shocks appear to be in good working order, they are 30+ years old -- the springs are likely sagging just from age.  Sorry, not trying to be a salesman for Progressive, just want to see you have the best, safest ride possible.

Did you compare the lengths of the fork springs for both models before you ordered?  Hope they are correct for those tubes.    Cheers!
