Installed Progressive fork springs and 412rear shocks. Went for a test ride and it is night and day from stock. Much smother and fork dive when braking is all but gone. Wish I had done this a long time ago.

 

Good choices. Upgrading the stock Dyna suspension made for an improved riding experience for me as well.

 

I added the 412's to my sportster and the monotube cartridge for the front and I really didnt notice a difference. Now with my wide glide she feels really comfy stock. I may just put heavier springs at the front but I think I will leave the rear shocks stock.

 

I started to do a test ride after front springs but it was late. Got up this morning and did shocks before a ride but I do think the front springs helped a lot. Both front and rear really changed the bike. While I was at it I added new rotors and brake pads front and rear.

 

I have the monotubes in the front of my Roadglide and plan on doing the same with my Wideglide. I agree with arkstreetbob about the illumination of fork dive. The roadglide being heavier has even more weight transfer under heavy braking and the monotubes really helped.

 

Got about a thousand miles on my progressive monotube forks and 444 shocks now and am very happy with the ride. Able to use all the front brake i want WITH OUT the nose dive. Best upgrade I've done to my 2011 FLHTCU.

 

This is good news to hear. I'm getting Progressive springs for my SB this Christmas. Looking forward to getting rid of the nose dive.

 

ya great upgrade... run 15w fluid and you will really dig it... on mine i also added race tech emulators, takes it to a whole new level!

 

"Stock" fluid is 10w correct? Just trying to figure out reference.

 

5w i believe is stock, SE is 10w and heavy duty is 15w. i NEVER use hd fork oil breaks down way way to fast and is too $$$. Go spectro better fluid and lower price, it is a win win
