Progressive Monotube Fork Cartridge Kit for GL1800
ITEM CODE: TR779004, SKU: TR779004

Nice upgrade but expensive to install
| I have a 12 year old wing with about 20,000 miles on it. The front end felt loose, and there was a fair amount of front end dive, especially two up, so I decided to install the progressive cartridge and an all balls steering head bearing, along with getting the fluid changed. I wouldn't say the bike was transformed but it handles much better now, and the front end dive problem is eliminated. There is a trade off for the better handling; the spring is stiffer than stock so you can feel the bumps a little more. If you want sportier handling; this will get you there. If you like a cushy ride; I say just change the fluid and put the steering bearing in. As for ride height, I can't tell the difference. I was worried I would want to jack up the rear after I got this installed but that hasn't been the case. The new front end still pairs well with the rear. One more thing, if you have this installed, you will need a bushing and seal kit too (another hundred dollars or so). |
