Default Another monoshock ? I know
Real quick I have a chance to purchase these (Progressive Suspension 31-2501 Monotube Fork Cartridge Lowering Kit)under 300.00 for my 2011 SG with a 21" front wheel. Want to get it back down to factory height..So do I lower 2 or 1. And will i have to purchase anything else.

Thanks again

1" drop with just 2 C clips will get you what you want with your 21" front wheel. Oh, and 31-2501 is the right number for the Touring bike lowered version.

And you can get them brand new for under $300 on Amazon and other vendors.

I got these monotubes also and went with 3 clips and like the ride. Suggestion: go to the harley store and get new 6mm bolts for the front forks. If you have any questions about install let me know.

Just curious, do the clips come with the monotube kit? I'm probably ordering these tonight.
