question: Monotubes too stiff?
For those who have the Progressive Monotubes, any issues with them being too stiff? I know the earlier models had leaking seal problems, but thats been resolved.

I have had the lowered version on my 09 Street Glide since June of 2010 and they give my bike a more precision sport feel, but I don't consider them too stiff or harsh. They give the bike a big advantage if you ever go canyon carving.

You feel the road a lot more, high frequency imperfections make it straight to the bars.
The trade off in ride quality is totally worth it for the improved feel, reduced dive and better control.
Mine are linear rate springs at std ride height.
