I have the Pro Action fork kit on my 16 RGU & I like it very much. I installed it over this winter & have about 800 miles so far. It's a bit stiff if you hit a large pot hole but aside from that i think its great & works as advertised. It's firmer than the stock suspension but still offers a compliant ride. I was taking the forks apart for service anyways so I figured i'd give it a try.
interested to see how this turns out. would it be better to just throw another $100 at it and get the progressive monotube kit?
Because I was looking for ride info on the Pro-Action kits in particular and there's enough reviews on the monotubes that suggest they are not the best solution either...just in this thread there's a bunch being taken out.

Have them explain the difference between their kit and the cartridge kits out there. It all makes sense when you talk to them.
Thanks for the response to my question tjcaron. Think I'll give them a call.

Thanks as well for your experience with the Pro-Action kit jockotwin. If I'm doing this, I'd like to only do it once. I may be down in their area next month on the bike and may see if I can get them to install both.
I have their fork pkg and 11” rear shocks on a ‘16 FLHTK. I too, think the front is a bit stiff. But no more brake dive. You can not beat their install price by making an appt. with them. I was in and out, including test rides and general BS-ing in a couple hours.
If it is stiff, the oil and spring can be changed.
Overall, I’m happy with PA.

Thanks for the info & pics Oko...much appreciated! Just curious why you went with the 11" rears as opposed to 13"?

Because it put me in the bike, instead of me being being top heavy on it. I feel its far easier for me to move the bike around when sitting on it. My inseam is 29. Im also trying a Street Glide seat on the bike. That dropped me another 1.5!
Plus DJ had his bike there with 11 on. It just felt right. Hell let u sit on it when ur there.

Ahh...fair enough...figured it may be that. I don't have that issue at all with a 35" inseam
I'm considering this fork kit, though I would like to hear more feedback from riders out there. I rebuilt my forks this winter on my 2008 RG, simply added Progressive HD springs and I find they rebound too quickly on tight, fast, sweeping corners.
