Back when I got my bike I ordered Progressive springs "for a Valkyrie" from
HDL... I didn't know there was more than one... mine are shorter than
the OEM ones...

Mike, I didn't know there were different sizes of fork springs.  When I bought mine, there was only one choice.  hmmm....

Just in case anyone wants this info. The Valkyrie stock fork springs are 13.3" long, the Valk. Progressive #11-1513 are 12.5", the VTX 1800 Progressive #11-1520 are 12.5" and the  Goldwing Progressive #11-1521 are 13.5" long. All will work in the Valk. with the 1521 giving you max. fork height and a decent if somewhat stiff ride with minimal dip on front brake application. The 1513 and 1520 lower the front by maybe 1" under stock.
