Progressive Monotubes
Just installed the Monotubes on my RK Custom and went for a 90 mile jaunt with the wife.
My opinion; If you have a stock Harley Touring bike then you need to add these. The difference is impressive. The front wheel rolls over bumps instead of slamming them. It is stiffer in the turns thus having more control. Really happy with this upgrade. The 944's are next.
Try it, you'll like it.

I put the 444's on back, and like them so much that I'm looking for the monotubes next. FYI, Progressive said the 944 drop the bike so if you don't have a problem with seat height go with the 444.

Had the 444HDs on the back (FLHRSI shock length is 12") and the monotubes on the front for 2 years now. I was amazed at how different the bike rode and handled. It is so much better, I took the touring link off. Of course I do have the Glide Pro swing arm bushings and motor mount on.

Yes, I'd like to know this too... Was going to change the fork oil here soon. Is it pretty much the same procedure? Drain the oil, but just take the stock springs out the top and replace the oil? Or is there a whole lot more involved? I see where to buy the Monotubes, but no installation instructions. I have a service manual but i'm not sure if that will be the same instructions on installing them.
