I have the exact set-up on my 2012 Street Glide. The ride will be tighter and more controlled. Also, there will be less brake dive.

Are you doing the install yourself or having a Indy or HD dealer do the install? If so how much to have installed. Thinking of having a set installed soon. I just installed a set of Progressive 940's.

I love my mono tubes, I also have the 940's in the rear and I think for my style of riding its a perfect combo.

I had them installed at a non HD performance shop and had my forks powder coated black at the same time and I believe I was out the door for 700ish for the tubes install and powder coating.

an added bonus of the monotubes is you no longer have to do any fork service to the bike. will save you money on maintenance and give a better ride!! good deal!! I love mine

If you have the tools and capability, do it yourself. If your fork seals are new enough, dont bother replacing them - save the money. The oil in the lowers is only 5 oz per side and is just to keep things 'wet.' The pressure is contained in the monotube itself.

Also, did you get the lowered ones or stock length?
