I have a set of mono tubes, but I am waiting on some tools before I install them, I have heard that the race tech kit isn't all it is cracked up to be, and if you go to phat performance you can get monotubes for under $270.00 shipped.

Dont lower it!!

Why increase the performance of your suspension and then reduce the performance of the bike by reducing your cornering clearance??

I raised my king a little bit and it made so much difference. If you can get an 3/4 or 1 inch higher you will be amazed how much faster you can corner.

Hognit,

You double-posted this! So I have copied my reply here, if you want to delete the other one.

I have recently fitted new rear shocks and am thinking about what to do with the front forks. Doesn't seem quite so easy to decide, although the options are fewer than shocks! Motorcycle Metal and Traxxion do inserts which get my attention. I'm not sure about add-ins like RaceTech Emulators and Ricor Intiminators, but they just don't seem to go far enough in upgrading our ancient Harley fork design. As for Progressive monotubes, they don't make them for my old Glide, so they are not in the reckoning! I also skipped over their range of shocks to Ohlins, so want something in the same ballpark.
