Ordered the Progressive Monotube cartridge fork kit and deciding whether to install myself or pay someone else to install.
I have read the directions and watched the video so do any of you who have done the install have any advice, suggestions or warnings.
Thanks in advance for any information.
Go to the dealership. They charged me about $300 and took them 3 hours. I can't imagine going at it alone. Plus you need new fork sealers and fluid.

I also paid $300 for the install...to important for me to chance on my ability!

Thanks Cruzdog, did you go to a Honda dealer? Neither local Honda dealer here had even heard of the Progressive Monotube.
Then I would RUN the other way...If you can do a service on the shocks then maybe.....Originally Posted by Rickc

If you are mechanically inclined you should be able to do this with the instructions. There is nothing hard about it, it just takes some time. I have done it twice on both my full wing and now my 6. Would recommend changing seals and bushings at same time since you have it apart.
The hardest part is removing the bottom bolt. I used a small impact drill and it comes out quite easily. dont start this project if you are not handy with tools and have used them on a motorcycle. Good luck with whatever you decide. Your bike will feel and handle much better after. Ride safe
I had the monotu es installed and it seemed much better, for a short period. Then my forks started squeaking when compressed and the bike started settling a couple inches when taken off side stand just like it did with stock setup. The forks compress a few inches shy of the bottom of the triple trees just with normal braking, nothing hard. The left fork started leaking (squirting) oil on each ride spraying back all over the front of the bike. It's back with the mechanic right now waiting on a response from Progressive. Went ahead and had rear progressive spring installed, hopefully this will tighten the bike up at higher speeds. Just turned 57k and the bike feels squirrelly at highway speeds, fingers crossed!
