Default Thanks

Thanks for the responses. I’m glad I asked. My main goal is to smooth out the bumps. That’s what the Progressive 444’s did for the rear.
Another question on the same subject. Can anybody explain why the same monotubes work in streetglides and Ultra’s? I’ve always believed that Streetglides had shorter springs.

The rear suspension is what is lowered on the street glides, not the front. Front stuff is the same.

It's different for my year bike...35-2500 VS 35-2501 for lowering kit.
