I also had this question as the motor company has the HD premium adj shocks and also a front end monotube kit. Quite a few reasons for me to go with the progressive items. 1. Original solution thinkers with a good reputation, Harley copies everyone else after others have demonstrated a fix. 2. the 944's have the full 13" travel but still drop the bike 1" and with the hammock seat that now seems to matter. 3. Made in USA means something to me, and God only knows where the Harley parts are coming from.

 

Sounds like you have a good plan going. The service manager actually recommended as we discussed improvements the extra oil in the forks. But when we got around to the progressive monotube discussion he was very enthused. The monotubes are happening because when I take the bike apart for the CCE triple tree I only want to go in one time. I like the bar idea you have and the hyd clutch, maybe this will happen for me this time, haven't ordered that stuff yet. Are you going to go to poly handlebar bushings?

 

SPAM Alert!

I have a pair of HD Premium shocks that came off my 2011 Street Glide after less than 1K miles. Just sitting in the box, PM if you're interested.

Thanks

 

I too, am considering the CCE triple tree, but haven't found a lot of feedback from people who've tried it.

Looking forward to your opinion.

 

Another option, they're suppose to be great..

I've had all these mods on my bike for years. I didn't bother with the poly bushings, & haven't needed 'em. The best change was the clutch! It works so much better & requires so much less thought & maintenance that I've been calling for Harley to make it stock for years.

 

Do you have a CCE triple tree? If so, care to share your opinion?

Thanks

 

Maybe it's just me. But just like a new car or truck. Everything new seems to have tighter handling than a used vehicle. It only makes sense that it would. The true test is, and even this would be subjective, is to ride two different model years when they are brand new.

 

I got the CCE triple and progressive parts. I'll post some pics. I started the install.
