Buy those, dip the springs in tool handle dip.

I got all black Progressives from HavocTurbo at Mavrik Powersports awhile back. I understand he's laid up now, convalescing, but you might try his website. I have no idea if someone is minding the shop while he's out.

He's a good guy and worth waiting for, to give him some biz...And the shocks are good.
