Progressive mono tube fork question

Hello,

I want to install the progressive mono tube cartridge suspension in my 02 Classic but don't want to lower the front. I have heard the standard kit still drops the front a little. Does the standard height kit lower at all or is it the same hiight as stock?

Thanks,
Klammer

I ran the Progressives 940 shocks and monotube cartridges on my 01 Classic and was very happy with them, the cartridge kit will lower it 1/2" or not at all depending on how you install it, I have Ricor shocks and the Intiminator ordered for my new bike but they haven't arrived yet so I cannot comment on them yet

The Monotube kit can be set up to sit at several levels depending on the preload spacers utilized.

It was installed to ride at the stock height but sat 1/2 inch low. I dont know if i had a bad set but The springs that were in the kit didnt have the same free height with no load on them.The suspension bottomed out during heavy braking. I was not impressed and progressive gave me the run around when I shiped them back for(2 weeks) dyno testing. These things may work great for someone who wants a plush ride but If your a agressive rider stay away.
