I've never done springs, but I did do monotubes, and I'm thrilled with the result.n I'm 5-9, 180 and I did monotubes with 1 clip and I'm very happy with the ride. Firm but not harsh, much reduced front end dive. Love the ride.

Keep the OEM set up, use a heavier oil and save $275

If you do the PS MonoTube cartridges, you'll never have to do a fork oil change again.
I have them.

No fork oil changes equal free monotubes with the savings.

I loved my monotubes. Wish I could have kept them when I did my 26. I've still got them and would be willing to sell if your interested. Have maybe 4k miles on them. Came off a 2012 road glide.

Mono's for me.
Major improvement!!
No more nose diving when stopping quicker than you had anticipated.

I installed the monotubes and it improved the handeling and brake dive. It was worth the cash...
