You're right, I didn't know that! 00-05 FXDWG have 41mm forks, same as Softail Standard and Night Train. The other Dyna models (-05) are 39mm. 06-later are 49mm.
On the (European) Custom Chrome site they list the same Progressive Monotube kit for 00-14 FXST and 00-05 FXDWG.

So, again, you are correct and you can look forward to a nice upgrade. Hope you enjoy it!

I'm gonna run 'em in the '02 FLST forks I'm building for my '02 FXD. Next issue of course, will be some complementing shocks to go with 'em.

I got an email from Progressive yesterday to say that they will have Dyna specific mono tube kits out in a couple of months.

Maybe I put that the wrong way....I was enquiring about a kit for my 2014 FXDF which has 49mm forks. Couldn't see anything to fit on their website.

They're out just maybe not on the website yet:

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...fork-kits.html

http://www.dragspecialties.com/produ...oductId=219338

Appears the DS listing doesn't have them for the FXDF but that might just be a typo. If it fits the FXDWG should also fit the FXDF.

Hmm.....maybe the FXDWG for is longer due to the bigger front wheel and increased rake. I'll email PS for clarification.

Being that the FLD's have 41mm forks, would I be correct in assuming that these would work for the Switchback?

You would be correct Matt, Progressive does not have the monotubes for the FXDF model yet...........

I have been emailing Gerad at progressive for the last 4 months concerning the monotube kit for the Fatbob.

He explained that there was an issue during their R & D with the Fatbob, due to the steeper fork angle and front end weight they were not working to there satisfaction, so they are continuing with the testing and once perfected they will release.

He said it could be another 6 months to a year before this could happen.
