Default Progressive Monotube Suspension
Over the past few years I've tried everything in the book to dial in the front suspension on my Fatboy. Different oil weights and amounts, different springs, various amounts of preload, but I could never hit the sweet spot.

Just finished installing Progressive's Monotubes. Night and Day Difference! The Monotubes are right on the mark. Handling, control, and ride comfort are perfect. I recommend these to anyone trying to improve their suspension.

Glad to hear it. I just picked mine up from DR. V-Twin and will probably install them after the 1st of the year.
