Default Front forks?

I saw were it was said that Progressive was not making the mono tubes for the 13 and older Tri Glide. Is it different then the touring models? Thanks

That is correct. You can only get the springs from Progressive now. At least for the 2013 and older. I spoke withe progressive sales, they said they may be working on a new cartridge for newer trikes, but the older style was discontinued. The springs they offer do make a difference though. I put a set in this past spring and found a lot less wheel skip when cornering at higher speed, and just all around smoother over bumps.

Yes there is a difference. Shorter Rake on the TG. I believe there was also a diameter difference, but not sure. I did ask Progressive the same question, they said an Ultra 2 wheel would not work.

2 in stock here also:

These show good to the check out page. I don't know if you purchased it they would still have one.

Well hopefully he finds they actually have the items in stock. When I was searching, I called every web sight that showed inventory, only to find they had no inventory and the web sight was wrong. That is why I called Progressive, to see if they could perform a search, they did their best and came up empty. But who knows one of these sights may actually have some.

Just looked back at my PayPal account, Cli-Maxridinggear was one that I placed an order, and waited for about a week. Never showed any shipping. Had to contact them and have order canceled and funds placed back to PayPal. I remember they said they were waiting on new shipment of the 31-2510 but had no estimated date.
This triggered my memory that I had posted a similar thread last year. No response posted. I also continued to call Progressive after that post and found they were not releasing a new one that would fit the 2013 and older.
