Just put Hyperpro springs on my 09 LT, WOW, what a difference. I been reading about how great this bike handles I thought you guys were all nuts. Now I can say I was wrong. After only 18000 miles on the bike, I purchased it with 14000, the springs were way too soft to corner like a sport bike. Now the bike won,t even squat when I go hard off the line. I feel a lot more confident going into corners at speed. It,s a totally different bike.

I thank all of you for this form. I thought I would have to live with a boring bike.

By boring I mean it would not handle like I thought it should. If you can't go into a corner with out loose feeling. I have to go under the speed limit to feel comfortable. I think I just had bad springs, or the guy that had it before me was really big and wore the springs out.

the stiffer feel is nice. but they will still handel well on stock springs but dont give you the same connected to the road feel. i changed mine to avoid botteming out mostly two up'
but i am very impressed with the hyperpro springs overall

I see that I misunderstood your post. I wondered why you would bother to own an LT is it was so boring. It seems that if you wanted something to perform like a sport bike, you would buy a sport bike. If you want a LUXURY TOURING bike, you would buy an LT. It sounds like the new springs were a great improvement to what you have. Good to know for one day when I need them.

How challenging is the install?

I didn't think it was difficult . It took some time removing the Tupperware. The shocks came out easy. I had a local performance shop do the spring swap. The Tec that did it was caught by surprise with how much stiffer the new springs were.

Where did you get them at? Any link to the site? Thanks.

I take it you replaced both rear and front springs, correct? But you kept the stock dampers?

EPMperf.com Great to work with.


I kept the O.E. shocks. No leaks they should be good for a long time. Yes both we're springs we're replaced.
