Default progressive monotube question
On the progressive monotube front suspension.

Do you still use fork oil?

Thanks,

On the Progressive site they are showing the monotubes at 400 bucks, and the matching rear 940 shocks at 700 bucks. Wow....

Sorry...but that is too much $$$$.

Anyone know where they are selling this stuff at a much better price?

Thanks,

~Joe

That's how I got mine for a decent price. Did a Google search then had Dennis Kirk price match so that I got them from a reputable dealer.
