progressive monotube question
I have the 440 shocks. I got them on ebay brand new for a couple of hundred bucks
Just a word to the wise you have to go big or not bother, IMHO the progressive suspension only works when you do it front and back.
I know when I had the 440's without the monotubes it didn't make a huge difference because the front end was still wallowing around.
Once I had the front done the bike rides and handles like a BMW
Just did the monotubes a week or so ago. Best price I found from a dealer was Dennis Kirk (around 300/free shipping).
Like someone else mentioned, about 5 oz. of fork oil per side for lubrication only.
Made a huge difference on my scoot.

right now, I'm unsure if I want to go this route, as I want the same ride height as I have now, and I am not sure if that means the lowered version or not. Also, I'm reading about C clips determining height and ride quality. Progressive says use 3 of them...some say 2...some say 2 means bike sits lower....what a headache!
I may just stay stock, as I have ZERO problems with the way she handles right now.

Went ahead and got a set off eBay for 265 shipped. Standard length.....
ebay seller: "themotorworks".
I guess 3 C-Clips will do the trick.
I'll have to get some 940's for the rear to have it done the right way.

I just bought a set of lowered mono's from American Classic on eBay. I also have a set of brand new (NIB) 940's up on eBay right now. Bought them and decided that I wanted to go another direction. Buy it now price is $475. http://www.ebay.com/itm/280834870701#ht_537wt_1378
The monotube kit I used was the 31-2500 and honestly I don't recall "C" clips, but if it had any I installed all as directed as I didn't want a lowered front end.
