Progressive Monotube Fork Cartridge Kit for GL1800
ITEM CODE: TR779004, SKU: TR779004
08.19.2017
failed again
I wrote one review and stated that the set had problems at 40,000 and progressive replaced them with another set and I am again having trouble with them and progressive isn't backing them up saying they don't keep records of prior correspondence with customers and if I can't produce the receipt (which I sent them the first time and can't find now) they wont talk with me. I know I have a few miles on them but with a lifetime warranty that they give I wanted to try them. Two failures on same bike (and I don't ride hard just normal riding)not to mention taking them back out of the bike and either installing your stock system again or waiting the three or more weeks to ride again if they do replace them. |

Progressive Monotubes
I have had these in the bike now for a couple of years and 70,000 miles and they are still doing great. I had an issue with them around 40,000 and Progressive exchanged them without any problem and I just changed the Oil and seals and guides last week. I like the fact that both fork tubes are the same inside. Three of us put these in at the same time and all are doing great. |

Works great
I installed this on the new 2012 and it is a very strong hich, I have had three 1800's and this seems just as strong on the other two I had previously. I would have bought the Kury hitch again but it won't be out for another three or four months????? |

Progressive Heavy Duty Fork Springs for GL1800

installed these and bike rides great, have not had any issues with the front end being too stiff like stated below. I put the rear spring on also but had these on the 02 and put 100,000 miles on them and loved them, I only have 70,000 on the 08 right now so still braking in....(: I think this is a good idea to put on wings and would include the rear spring also. |

I just installed this on the 08 and what a difference, it does take some doing to install it but if you do your own air filter you can do this job. You will have to either buy a spring compressor or make one to work but it isn't real hard to take the spring off, if you have been thinking about doing this go ahead and get it and install it you will be pleased. |

my wife seen these on another members bike and when we got the new 08 she said put them on first thing. 50,000 miles later they have proven to be a great addition, it allows her to move the position of her legs. The grand kids use them also. I have lost two of the little rubber pieces and find out this it something that happens to quite a few people but not a bid thing |

installed these and they are great, made the grip far more comfortable and the heated grips still work with these over the top of them. hard to ride a bike without them on now. |

these were easy to install and can be seen from the rear very well, I had a set on the 02 that went on mirror and I could see them very well but these are hid just a little bit but show up well to the side, (that is what they are made to do,not blind the driver while riding. I would buy these again when I get another bike. |

I have to agree with Ron, Kuryakyn makes the very best highway pegs and make the long trips more comfortable. All 5 of us who ride together all the time have these and love them. easy to install and you adjust them to your own leg length. |

installed them in the 02 and also put them in the 08 when I replaced the head bearings. Make a nice difference in riding and easy to install these |
