Progressive monotube fork cartridge kit
| Mine were manufactured wrong. Seen some on Amazon for almost half the price and had a amazon label on the box. I sent them back to Wingstuff . Something seems a little fishy. Wingstuff said they sent the entire inventory back the day I received mine. Then I got an email asking how they worked out. Lack of communication going on. |

Monotubes
| Removed forks and Disassembled ,went to install and found top of spring was installed with main spring. Called Progressive to find out the trick to disassemble units and was told they aren’t serviceable, and fastest way to get replacement was to call Wingstuff. Called them and they said they would get another set in the mail that day. I asked them to check the ones they had in stock, they called back and said both sets were made the same way. Wingstuff tried very hard to help but they couldn’t send what wasn’t available. Back to Progressive, they didn’t have any in there warehouse but would in a few days. and will ship asap, they are also trying very hard to help hopefully they are assembled the right way. Even more l hope they work as well as advertised if l ever get a good set! |

Good product
| I have approximately 2000 miles on these after installation. The instructions that came with them were adequate and I did not find any aspect of the install to be particularly difficult. The ride quality in the front end has been noticeably improved, although it's not as life changing as some of these other folk suggest. For the price, would recommend if you are comfortable doing the work yourself. |

PROGRESSIVE MONOTUBE FORK CARTRIDGE KIT FOR GL1800

I told him to try my wing and he immediately like the way it handled. I told him that i am using, Progressive monotube fork cartridge for the front and i never regretted it. well, i have ordered one for him and waiting for his feedback. |

Worth the price!
| I've only put a couple hundred miles on these but I am already happy with the improvement in ride quality. Makes my 2002 Goldwing ride like a brand new machine. It finally rides like I expect a goldwing to. Even my wife noticed a definite improvement in ride quality and felt like the bike was much more settled, especially at higher speeds. Best part is these are now warrantied for life so if anything happens to them I can get them replaced. Honestly worth the price, an upgrade everyone should do! |

Just get them
| These finally bring out what the goldwing is capable of doing, tight sport bike like handling with good firmer ride. Big handlebar jarring holes are no more. These soak up the big hits and ride very smooth also. |

Oh My ;o)
| Well it took me a minute to make this decision and the right one. I almost just got the springs adn said what the heck, why go low level when the better is only a few dollars more. I'll say this much about my upgrade. The tech who worked on my bike pulled up after a test ride and the craziest look. I asked oh oh what's the issue. he simply said that was the best riding wing he's been on in a while..need i say more. |

Well worth it! Big improvement
| I'm a 28 year old male who rides a 2014 GL1800, and I like to ride it as what it is, a sportbike in cruiser clothes. I did a lot of research before buying my suspension upgrade parts and debated on whether I should just buy a 2018+ Goldwing but I can't stand how much storage they took away the the small 4" speakers they used. I weigh in at 185lbs 5'10 and my passenger is around 170lbs. I definitely had some harsh bumps and bottomed out on the stock suspension and settled in the preload at around 8 single and 15 two-up. I also had the bar-shake around 40mph.I went all in and over the course of 5 weeknights in my garage I did the full suspension upgrade with the Progressive Monotubes up front, the Progressive spring on the rear, the TRAXXION Dynamics braided preload adjuster line, and the TRAXXION Dynamics TRAXX-RITE Billet Triple Clamps which had the ALL BALLS Bearings pre-installed. The progressive suspension is a huge upgrade. I don't feel like things are "more bumpy" I feel like the suspension is actually working now instead of being a pillow with a rock underneath (due to stock suspension being so soft and easily bottoming out). The bike sits higher and I no longer have to adjust my parking position to be confident the bike won't tip over, it now leans over sufficiently to be well planted on the kick-stand. The monotubes in conjunction with the progressive rear spring have dramatically changed the handling of the bike, i'm no longer going slow over bumps or worrying about railroad tracks. Preload can now sit comfortably at 0-2 with just me depending on how aggressive i'm riding. While I did not have trouble scraping pegs previously, i'm still getting used to the new lean angle capability with the additional ride-height presented due to the Wing not crushing the suspension under its own weight and I have not scraped pegs yet.The TRAXX-RITE Triple clamps were a great addition and I got them mainly because they came with the bearings pre-installed and I only had to worry about installing the bearing races and not pressing the bearings onto the triple tree stem. They make a notable change that I think warrants the price for both in eliminating bar wobble at 40mph and in making turns and carving smooth as butter, it really is noticable vs. the stock ball bearings. |

Is it better than stock? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes. Is it bumpy as others claim? Unfortunately, Yes.
| I wanted to ad my two cents to the reviews about the Progressive Monotube suspension for the 5ht Gen Goldwing. As many of us, I’m on a budget and can’t afford the high price tag of the famous traxxion suspension upgrade. If you don’t have much time to read this review here it is the summary:Is it better than stock? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes. Is it bumpy as others claim? Unfortunately, Yes.I am 5’7” 170 lbs guy that rides 90% solo. I followed the instructions religiously and added the exact amount of the recommend Honda fork Oil. The ride is improved, however the price is to pay is that you will have a bumpier ride, especially at speeds between 10-50 mph. I was following my wife behind the car and she thought I was flashing my high beams. Before I installed this suspension, I tried replacing the fork oil with a 15W, which was an improvement but was not what I wanted. If you hate the harshness of the stock suspension and don’t have the $$$$ to pay for the traxxion upgrade, I think this can be an alternative. However, remember that your ride will be bumpier. Is very weird, is bumpy but is not uncomfortable. It handles great at high speeds (80+mph) and I consider myself to have an aggressive ridding style. To completely enjoy the added benefits of the new upgraded suspension, you also need to make sure than you eliminate any rattling from the trunk. After many different small modifications, my trunk was almost rattle free, but on harsh bumps would still make noises, until I tried adding ¼” clear tubing inside the weather strip of the trunk. Was not easy to do, and I had to do it by halves, half to the right and half to the left. Also adding the soft part of Velcro around the internal border of the lid, so when it closes there is no friction between plastic vs plastic. |

Great so far
| I recently had a seal like on my 2008 GW. After doing some research I selected these monotube forks. Wingstuff delivery was great as normal. Because of the time of year I have limited miles on them, but so far I'm impressed with the performance. I removed the forks and had the local dealer install them so I can't speak to that, but he said they were simple to install. Looking forward to another great year of riding! |
