How does it ride? Is it real stiff? Please let me know.

Thanks,

Picked up some 940 matching rear shocks, at eBay for 470 SHIPPED.

I'll post some pics when everything is done. I'm going to some chromed sliders and Arlen Ness cowbells

No problems with my monotubes in front in standard height with all C clips in. Matched them up with 12" 440s in the rear. Firm and controlled !!

I have less than $850 in my progressive monotubes, 940's and touring link. I'd pay double knowing how much of an improvement it made in my ride.

My kit came with 4 clips, 2 for each side. I called progressive and they told me that's what they recommend. I got the standard height #31-2500.
