Default Monotubes first impression

Got the progressive monos installed along with chrome fork legs and front end pieces. Impressive to say the least! When I first took her for a ride it was pretty stiff. I went 1" under and I kind of had an "oh no" moment. As I continued on and everything settled into place it kept getting better and better! I never really thought my front end was noisy. It was. The noise reduction in front is quite noticeable. The bike tracks WAY better through turns. Feels MUCH more "planted" with the monos. Bike just kind of glides over bumps and ruts in the road with ease. Brake dive is all but gone. No more drama on hard stopping. Twisties are so much more fun with the added confidence this mod has given me. Handling is improved dramatically! This upgrade was well worth the $$$. My bike feels like a new and improved machine!

Big thanks for all the help I got from board members letting me pick their brains before pulling the trigger on this! The forum is great!

I would agree, they are a great improvement. Mine are set up the same as yours and I am very pleased with them for all those same reasons.
