prossive monotube ???
I have a 2014 FLHX. Want to do a progressive monotube on the front. Since the streetglide is an inch lower in the rear, from the factory, do I want to go ahead and to the lower monotube? Would there be any reason to go with stock height instead? Any help appreciated.

I would say if you're comfortable with the height as it is now, stick with the standard height. A street glide is already low, short travel rear shocks can be a bit harsh, lowering in front can make that a bit worse.

I know, I was talking about the rear. The seat height on a street glide is lower than other touring bikes, and the stock rear shock, I believe is a 12, vs a 13 for the other touring bikes.
My point was, unless you *need* to lower it in the front, I'd keep the stock height.
Aesthetics are different, but my point is you'll pay a price for that in the form of a harsher ride.

Yep, thats been my experience - depending on your weight - I'm 180, so I went with 1 clip, works great.
