 My ambo will be running this spring. I am putting progressive shocks on
the back. Looking for suggestions for the front end. Most of my riding
will be two-up. I have hard bags and a trunk mounted, along with a
police windsheild. There was a thread a while back about using rear
shock springs to stiffen the front end some. But I don't remember if the
springs were specified. Would welcome any suggestions about fork oil
weights, etc.

I brought that post to the list. I cross referenced springs from Progressive
Suspension (rear shocks) and used them on my Ambo. The dimensions of two sets
are similar to the Ambo, I think 9" x 2.15". I can give you part #'s.
