Default Question on progressive monotubes

Hi guys, hoping anyone with experience could help me find an answer on this one.


I have an 07 wide glide and looking to upgrade with progressive monotubes. In the install diagram is shows that you do not re-use the stock chrome fork caps. That seems odd to me that with the non fairing WG I would have the black adjusters showing at the top of the triple tree? Appreciate any feedback (I'm waiting on the kit or would verify)

Dont get your panties in a knot grasshopper. I was just stating the obvious that if you cant live with the look there are other options.

OP, There are some great reviews on running Ricor Intimidators, Amsoil 10 wt fork oil with standard rate springs

I will definitely go another route if their install results in black adjusters sticking out.... Just trying confirm if they do or not so I can start looking at another solution.

I was told by the parts guy when I ordered them that you reuse the chrome caps, but as I read thru the install instructions on progressives web site it doesn't seem to be the case...just looking for feedback from someone who might of installed...

You don't reuse the stock caps. You will have the black adjusters visible.
