Default Progressive Monotube Questions

Well, they finally released the Progressive Monotubes for the Rushmore bikes.

http://www.progressivesuspension.com...for-hd-touring

Now the question I have is how does the 2" lower affect the overall ride. I'm 6'3" so needing the bike lower isn't an issue. I just want the best overall ride and would like some input from people who've ridden one or both.

Thanks in advance.

Cecil

I don't have the mono tubes, but do have the drop in kit . I have it set at 2" lower. I like the ride better. It is firmer, but zero dive on the brakes and feels much better abd responsive in the corners. You will have some touch down and may need a shorter kick stand, I did. Overall am very happy with the ride and stance.
