Default Progressive mono tubes for my Lo?

So I'm gonna be putting my Shotgun Shock on in the next week or so and wondered what people think of the match up putting on progressive mono tubes lowering kit on my 2014 FLSTFB front end? Seems like about the best bang for the buck. Found a few threads that were positive but they were old and not bike specific. Anybody got any pro's or con's?

I run stock length progressive mono tubes.

It has improved the comfort and handling over stock.

I did the same thing - the Shotgun first followed by the Monotubes.
Mainly because the Shotgun really amplified just how bad the stock front suspension was.
Here's a review I posted:

At the time of the review I said the jury was still out on the Monotubes since I didn't have many miles on yet.
Not anymore - they were a GREAT upgrade...

I installed the 2" lowering mono tube kit over the winter into my FXSTDI. Huge improvement to the dampening and handling. No issues, no regrets.

Also, You have the option of lowering it 1" or 2" with it with the supplied spacers.

MT's are a win. Great performance, no bottoming out and great handling.

Thanks everyone. If there was any doubt before, it's been removed.
