Why remove forks for Progressive cartridges?
In reading the Progressive instructions, I'm not sure why you need to pull the forks? Their instructions basically start with removing the forks per the HD manual, and then got through the installation....but it doesn't look to me that anything in their steps couldn't be done with the forks still on the bike. Seems to me it may even be easier. You definitely have to remove the axle and wheel, but why remove the fender, fork brace, caliper, etc?
For those that have done it, what am I missing?

Drain fluids?
So are you just looking at the instructions, or are you about to install the mono-tubes? I'm interested in a review
I know there was alot of complaints about blown seals and gas leaking when they first entered the market. I Guess PS fixed this issue, but I'm having a hard time finding resent reviews...

As for a review....I went from a stock front end, and installed the monotubes a few months ago...and immediately went on a 750 mile ride. Just went another 350 this past weekend. Love the feel of the front end, and elimination of excessive brake dive. For those who have "dialed" in their front suspension with springs, intimidators, oil, etc... you wont see as much improvement...but the ride is definitely smoother.

I installed mine in 2011 (softail versions), no problems. As far as I know Progressive has lifetime warranty to original purchaser.
