Progressive Monotube Fork Tube Kit

[geezerglide11441]

Does anyone have any experience with installing the Progressive Monotube Fork Cartridge Kit in their Trike?? I had this assembly in my 2008 Ultra (w/120r crate motor) and loved it. On the Trike, I know I will not experience the same accomplishments on the Trike as it was on my 2 wheeler, but all I am looking for is to reduce the "brake dive' and the "acceleration lift" that I am experiencing with the TriGlide and the 120 motor.

I have also replaced the OEM air ride shocks in the rear with the Progressive 444's and so far, so good.

Thanks for the comeback, but am also not interested in maintaining the OEM oil system.

Hi Roger, I don't have experience in installing the Progressive tubes but I did have them installed before I had the Ultra converted to the trike. Both on the bike and the trike they give a real good ride, no bottoming out or lifting on acceleration. Railroad tracks and potholes are much smoother.
Overall It rides really good complimented by the Progressive shocks on the rear as well.
I think you'd notice a positive difference.

Here is an installation video from Progressive Suspension for late model HD touring bikes. I've not installed them on a bagger, but I have done the installation on a Sportster... if you have the appropriate tools, it's a pretty straight forward installation.

Thanks 3rdwheel, your experience is what I was hoping to hear, as I had the same with my Ultra. I found a supplier and have them coming next Thursday. Also have a personal friend who is an HD technician who will be doing the installation.

Thanks to all responders!!
