Default Progressive Monotube Inserts

Had these for a few weeks, finally decided to take a couple of days off of work to install them. Actually went easier than I thought. Only had two real issues. Getting the bottom screw out of the right side (as you sit on the bike) fork bottom. Ended up having to drill it out which was quite easy. The ignition switch re-install was the other one. Put it back together and so far no leaks and rides way better. No more nose dives.

Along with my the Ohlin 3-3's I put on, suspension is good to go.

Default Finally had them installed as well.

It was one project I didn't really want to tackle. Sure cured the 'bottoming out' that happened every time I hit a rut or entered a driveway. There's always a 'cause and effect' whenever we upgrade the bike. What was once a fairly docile ride has now become a bit more road sensitive. All for the best but a noticeable increase in stiffness.
