Another monoshock ? I know
Reading through this forum when researching the lowering Monotubes it seems Progressive recommended 2 clips for a less harsh ride. I have no complaints at all about the ride with 1" lower and 2 clips. I figured I'd try the 2 clips first and if it was to soft I could pull it back apart and add a clip. I'm glad I did it this way first instead of installing 3 and having to go back and remove a clip.

1" lowered is still 1/2" over stock, which, on a street glide is now 1 1/2" higher compared to the rear. I lowered mine 2", now I am 1/2" over the rear. I really like how mine rides, the stock rear does suck, the front is very smooth. The bigger wheel does roll down the road better than the smaller 17"/18" wheel.
There is some members who have used 2 clips but the use the other bottoming spring to end up at 1 1/2" lowered, now back at stock height.
The mono tubes come with 3 clips per side and two different bottoming springs.
2" lowered is no clips and both spings
1" lowered is two clips and one of the springs, correct?
