This place has about the best price, if you consider that you don't pay tax or shipping.  $264.95 for the standard height version.

Great price, I think they are $339.95 on the Progressive website.

This is where I've gotten all my Progressive shocks from, JC Motors.

They also have the Monotubes for $252.27.

I just got done replacing 2 year old progressive monotubes they went bad while i was at Maggie Valley why they went bad i dont know sent them to progressive they confirmed they were bad and sent me a new set no charge i liked them so much over stock i thought they were worth all the trouble  and if these go bad i will replace them again they are worth it.

OTIS - How many miles did you get on the monotubes before they went bad?

Thanks

How did you know they were "bad"? How long should they last? Seems odd they were both bad.
If they are good enough for Otis they are good enough for me. Great customer service. Just have a few other items on the list to buy first.

Probably 10 thousand miles but i dont think that had anything to do with it i think they were just defective or maybe running with the HILLBILLY ROCKET RIDERS had something to do with it.

 Hello Arland i knew they were bad because it had a bounce that started and kept getting worse at Maggie Valley i felt like a rookie trying to keep up.

I changed to the Progressive monotube on the front suspension. Well worth the money for the upgrade & should have done long ago. Totally different bike w/ newsuspension.

I also changed the rears to the Progressive 940. No more air shocks for me...
I also have done this to my Banana. This IS the best mod for the money you will
ever spend on your bike. A must have for all Harley's. Nuff said.

OK,
I just went to the Progressive web site, and all they list is the spring length.  I've got a 2005 SEEGII that has been lowered from the factory.  What size (or length) do I need to order??  Where is the least expensive??  Any thoughts??
