Progressive's new monotube fork kits
Does anyone have any info on these?

They were advertised in the latest Hot Bike as well. I don't know a lot about how the suspension works but they sound good on paper anyway. Pros of this design versus whatever comes stock?

Do you still use fork oil with it. .?

Damn! And I'll have all of my parts to rebuild my front end with Traxxion single-rate springs and Ricor Intiminators in a week or less.
Apparently too new to have it listed on Progressive's (recently revamped) web site as an available part for Dynas.
Instruction video for the baggers, however, should be very similar to that of a Dyna.

I used 5oz's of fork oil which is used to lubricate the mono tube cartridge. I assume the Dyna version is the same. The cartridge needs lubrication.
I don;t see a designation for a Dyna on their site. http://www.progressivesuspension.com...9/monotube-kit

I have them in my Low Rider, softail version, stock length, for about 3 years now. I've been very happy with them. keeps the front wheel firmly on the ground over bumps and pot holes. I screwed around with springs, spacers, different weight oil and adjusting oil fill. Got tired of fiddling with it so went with these. They are great out of the box. They aren't adjustable for your weight.
I think you will get similar results with Ricor Intiminators or Racetech gold valves, and some decent springs, for about the same price.
Edit - oops, looks like the dyna version is adjustable.
