Not much to look at still waiting on my aluminum swingarm from Trac and my rear brake setup. Also still have to install my bigger throttlebody. And paint front fender.

I changed mine to the progressive monotubes in my 07 ultra. I did not have to change the seals and all because the monotubes are sealed themselves and you remove all the stock dampening components when installing them. Ride and handling was vastly improved.

Also the videos and intstructions talk about 3 clips for load sag but mine came with 4 clips. I only used 3.

At 70 mph its like riding on a cloud. I don't feel any bumps at all and my wife actually almost fell asleep the ride was so smooth.
