Hello Gents,
New here on this forum but I have a little for you on this topic.
I am riding a 2012 FLTRXSE which is lower in the back from the factory.
I put Monotubes in last month but held off on the rears.(Thought the Premium Shocks would be worth keeping)
After speaking to the Progressive Tech on the phone, He confirmed that the stock height monotube will actually lower the bike between .75 - .90 inches due to thier SAG technology.<- his phrase not mine
The shocks are the same height when measured before weight is applied. the lowered shock is actually 1" lower before weight is applied and then even lower with the weight of the bike and the rider.
It wasnt long before I put the 940's on to even the bike out.
I had put the same suspension on my StreetGlide and can tell you that trading in that bike for a CVO gave me no advantage in the suspention area.
I might have left the suspension alone if Harley had taken the initiative to put Halrey's Monotubes in but since I needed the Monotubes anyway, Progressive was the way to go.
Now I have my cadillac again...
