I am happy with mine and have had them in for 4 years. I weigh 175lbs and mostly ride alone. I split the difference and went with a total of 3 clips, 1 in one side and 2 in the other. I like a firm ride with decent feedback and this gives that. I think for the money the monotubes are an excellent upgrade, but I also understand there are much better options at twice the cost.

Also, before anyone disagrees running differing preload, springs, valving, etc. on each side is perfectly acceptable and has no impact on the whole package as it operates as one unit when connected to a solid axle.

 

can't believe nobody has made the distinction between the standard height monotubes and the lowering monotubes. I went with a 21" front wheel and left the forks stock. It sat up to high for my liking and made the handling awkward at slow speeds. I decided to use the monotubes lowering kit and used the single spring from the kit (did not use the secondary spring), along with 2 clips on each side. that was supposed to give a 1" drop, but ended up closer to 1.5"
The ride and handling are great with none of the harshness others are talking about.
2011 Street Glide and I'm about 195-200.

 

For the most part they are fine and an upgrade over stock. They'll eliminate the brake dive and once you dial in the clips the ride will also improve over stock. Just remember a lot of this stuff is subjective when it comes to what's harsh or jarring. Chrome lowers look great. I'm sure you'll be happy. There's nothing subjective about that.

When are you installing?

 

 

looks like the stock height monotubes?

 

 

I was happy with the stock height also, until I put the 21 up front. Now it's back where it needs to be.
My original point to the OP is that you will probably get different setup opinions based on whether they are talking about the standard height monotubes or the lowering monotubes. None of the posters indicated which they were using, and neither did the OP.

 

I am a buck 75 and ride 75% solo. Use one clip. If I did more 2 up, I'd probably have gone with 2. The naysayers probably spent much more money than the monotube folks, hence the negativity. Put it this way, the OEM front suspension downright sucks. Now, 3 years later with Monotubes, still no dive. Still rides and handles wonderfully and do not regret anything about my purchase. I did the work myself and would buy them again.
