So glad I saw this video, I just upgraded my bars to 12" and replaced my rear suspension on my 2014 SGS with the Legend Revo rear shocks and yes it is like night and day vs the Harley stock suspension but now I am feeling the "loose" front end that you describe. It looks like I am going to have to upgrade the front as well. Those 2 upgrades were not cheap but knowing that my ride will be that much better by replacing the front end then it's money well spent IMO. I appreciate the content you put out here so that people can be better informed.

I made a HUGE MISTAKE with the Legend Suspension. I cover several mistakes I made and that others have made so that you can avoid making these same mistakes with a Legend Suspension. Thanks for watching, liking, commenting, and sharing this video with others. If you have not yet subscribed to the channel, I would be honored if you would consider doing so. Have a great day and ride safe. Rick

I have legends on my SG and RK. Absolutely love them. On the RK I only have them on the rear and can definitely feel the crappy front end. I use this mainly as my practice bike so the front shocks are on the back burner. Putting the 13" legends on the rear though brought the bike up and I'm not scraping nearly as much. You can never go wrong with legends. Great video brother

Another very helpful video. Fantastic job, Rick.

Great info. You did a nice job explaining suspension setup

very very very useful and informative thank you much appreciated

I am glad you did this video. I think its time to upgrade my suspension.

Yup, 2020 SGS. I installed the 13” Revo A’s out back and stock up front. I’m about 240 and my girls 110. I often feel like the front end is a little squirrelly on me. Looks like I have a new winter project ahead of me now. Thank you for the excellent video/advice.

Great video Rick, I was just about to pull the trigger for just the rear on my 20 RG, totally going to do the front now.

Good explainations, Rick.

Great video Rick. I went with legend front and rear when I got my 19mako. Night and day difference. This was a good one.

Great info, I plan on getting Legends and would have bought the 12. I already have the Axio’s in the front and love them.

Thanks for sharing

Great video!...I put Progessive suspension on my 2020 UL...I did front and rear at the same time...putting a high-end suspension on one end and leaving the stock junk on the other made no sense to me!...thanks for sharing...stay safe out there!!!😎👍🤙👍🤙🇨🇦

Subscribed! Legend coming soon to the rear of my 22 RGS 👍

Your spot on rick by saying change both front and rear shocks to get the best ride,definitely gotta look at the fine print and order the right weight ratio that gonna be on your bike,thinking I’m gonna go with fox heavy duty on mine because its a limited and we put a lot of luggage on it going on trips👍👍

I mounted a pair of Revo Arc shocks on my FXR4 and it was amazing. Set the preload according to the instructions and adjust the clickers to get the ride you want. Now the front end feels horrible. If I had the money, I would change front and rear at the same time. Raising the rear of the bike an inch does make the handling a little quicker but that will level out when I do the forks. thanks for the video

I have 13 Progressive 444. Had them put on in Sturgis by the Progressive dealer. Great upgrade!

I had the Revo A 13 s on my 2018 RGS for about 3 years and loved them but being short-legged and getting older I just put on the 12-inch heavy duty, I didn't notice much of a difference so far. Legends makes a great product

Good video. I put 13” legends on my SG and love them. I do feel that wiggle in the front end like you mention. I’m still running the stock front suspension. I do need to get the fronts now.

I just tried to have suspension upgraded, front and rear. Everybody swears this is the first upgrade everybody should do. I got the front installed (Fox HD cartridges), but the rear became an issue. I bought the HD IFP-QSR 13" FOX shocks, but when installed the axle nut and swingarm would hit the exhaust. Local HD dealer was dong the install. So may end up swapping out the 13" Fox shocks for the 12" Fox versions instead. Right now went back to stock 12" shocks for now. But 12" Fox shocks still should be much better than stock on the rear, but was hoping to goto the 13" shocks so I can get the extra travel. But just a warning for some that you may have to adjust in some way for many of the 4 1/2" pipes we all tend to use if you go with 13" shocks. Local dealer mentioned some pipes seem to be ok, some aren't. Love to hear form others watching ways in which they get around some of these issues or if you ran into issues like this. Heard some hammered their pipes creating more indentications to make it work. Or perhaps some sort of spacer or something else. Open for suggestions.

Your correct about the rears out performing the front end after legends installation. I did the rears and it only took a few decent rides on different conditions of roads. I had to go and do the fronts also. If you're mechanically inclined it's a pretty easy installation. I have did a few sets of fronts & rears now

That’s a thumbs up from me. I bought my bike used with Legends on the back. I really enjoy them and customer service warranty procedure is amazing! Thank you for doing a video on these. So many people say Ohlins are the best, but is that from experience or marketing? IMO, anything is better than stock Harley shocks!

I ride a 2008 Road King classic and self-installed the 13-inch Legend Revo a rear shocks. I definitely feel an improvement in going over small bumps. I too have experienced the wiggle feeling coming from the front because those are still stock suspension. So I want to get the axio legend front suspension and decided I'm going to go with the more expensive type for touring as opposed to performance.

Legends has several of their own videos to help pick what's right to choose from and how to set them up correctly. I love my 13 inch heavy duty Revo A on my 21 SG,im about 275lbs with a tour pack and my girlfriend were speaking over 500lbs. It rides great solo without tour pack or 2 up with tour pack. I set my sag to 1 inch and forget it no matter what rides along with me. Very comfortable. Probably going with Ohlins on the front though if you ever watch the guy doing a compare to 1 another with the oil valve can be adjusted with Ohlins. Legends you have to take it completely apart. Keep rubber the side down.

Catchy subject I really like it 👌 While I enjoy my rear 13” shocks and made big difference in comfort they damage my muffler on the right side due to increased length. Now I wait till they punch the hole in my pipe.

The amount of money needed to make these bikes ride better is insane... HD has apparently improved their suspension on the new CVO bikes. I am going to live with my stock setup even though they are not great. Good video :-)

Glad you had success with your Legend shocks. I purchased the Legend air shocks and had nothing but trouble with them. Warranted them 2X and gave up. They refused to send new ones. Maybe they knew they would also be Chinese junk.

I got them front and back. Rock solid..but I'm gonna take the back off and go iride..

I have Legends Suspension on the back of my street glide sp. Two yrs. ago I was on a road trip from Ohio to California. About half way there I noticed the back of my bike was feeling a bit different. My first thought was low tire pressure. I checked it and it was a bit low so I added a couple of pounds of air hoping that would do the trick. Well it didn't. Got to California and rode up the PCH (Pacific Coast Hwy) and stopped at a Harley dealer hoping they would take a look at it. Well with my luck they couldn't (or wouldn't) and they said Legends h.q. is in Sturgis. So I headed there. Got there a few mins before they closed. One guy was leaving and he came over to me asking if everything was ok. I explained my situation and went back into the shop. A minute later he came out with a coworker. They said they couldn't do anything at the moment but come back tomorrow when we open and they would take a look. I came back the next day and they got me right in. One of the rear shocks had failed. About two hrs latter I was good to go and on the road. No charge because of a lifetime warranty. My next bike will definitely have Legends (front and back).

I was told to set the pre load at 12 inches with riders weight on the bike on a 13 inch shock. That's how I set my set up standard springs

Love your vids heaps helpful as I run legend front and rear and setup is so important to get real value outta these, just a shame we pay so much for a bike that should already have something decent on it for what it is and does.

I weigh 242 lbs. and left my front Axio at 0 preload and fully loaded with my wife I have never bottomed out and it feels nice and tight on the canyons, and brake dive on the twisties is less that stock, my next upgrade will be to switch the front end to GP Suspension fully adjustable front cartridge kit.

First of all I want to thank you for the feedback on this very important suspension issue that you have given in your video. On the other hand, I want to ask you in your opinion what is the best solution to prevent the wheels damage, especially the front one, from being damaged by falling into bumps; I am thinking of replacing the original 19-inch front RIN that my 2022 Street Glide Special comes with an 18-inch one with a fat 180/55 R18 tire and also putting a front suspension on it, Legend, AXEO Comfort and also replacing the rear suspension with some 13-inch REVO-A shock absorbers, as you suggested in your video, my question for you would be if, based on your experience, do you think that with these improvements I will obtain a better driving experience and reduce the chances of damaging my wheels again? I live in Mexico and the roads in my country are not in very good condition like in the United States in Canada. thanks for your feedback and all the best!

I have Legends 13” on my Street Glide, and 13” Pro Action shocks on my Road Glide. The Pro Action shocks ride like a cloud, and also out handle the Legends by a long shot. The Pro Actions handle both solo and two-up perfectly. The Legends when set up for solo, will bottom badly when two-up, and when set for two-up they ride like a 2x4 when solo. There are many better options than Legends.

Omg my 2024 streetglide do the same thing with the stick shocks , high way speed feels lose on the front and I’m getting exactly what you saying shimmy on the front so anything is there anything I can do to make that better?

GREAT VIDEO! I TOO PUT JUST THE STANDARD LEGENDS ON THE REAR OF MY 2017 ROAD GLIDE SPECIAL. THE PROBLEM IS MY BIKE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 70 MPH WILL START SWAYING A BIT LIKE RIDING ON STEEL GRATING. DID YOURS DO THE SAME TILL REPLACING THE FRONT WITH LEGENDS?

I have a 21 Roadglide with the Legend 13 in rear and the axeo 21 in the front. Every so often when I hit a bump I get a clack noise in the front. Have you experienced that?

Note that if you have a Road King, the front cartridges are to stiff. You need the additional weight of the fairing to get in to the sweet spot

I've had two RG specials (2009 and 2015) and got a 2022 RG limited a year ago. Balance at low speeds and parking has been an issue from the start. The height (?) and extra 50 lbs. from the tour pack are what I think cause this. I'm converting to a detachable TP and was thinking of installing Legends 12 inch to lower it a bit to match the ride of my old RG. It came with 13-inch shocks. Is that a bad idea since Harley built it with 13" shocks?

👍👍👍👍

If ya want the Cadillac suspension, go with Wilbers. I am saving up right now to get them. Everything I can find on them basically says they are the Cadillac suspension for Harleys. That's what I want out of my bike, comfort with amazing handling. Does anyone on here have Wilbers? I'd like to hear your viewpoint as well.

I added the rear revo an and front axeo on my 22 sgs and king tour pack now I feel the front seeems loose? Any idea why?

It's coming full kit in the box? or I will need to buy some parts Thank you.. My bike road king flhr model 2000

Sometimes I feel like bigger bumps jolt my back legends are on the back not in the front, but at times they hit hard in the back

Many motorcyclists make this mistake. You only change the setup of the spring/damping on one axis. But that's not right, because the entire vehicle has to be considered in the chassis setup. Longer shock absorbers not only affect the ground clearance, they also change the caster and thus also have an influence on the riding stability and handling of the motorcycle. There are even more mistakes that you are only too happy to make: The other air filter, which is supposed to deliver more power - without adjusting the timing and the exhaust, this is almost hopeless or only a suboptimal result to be expected. A intake and exhaust systems are also matched to each other for optimal results. And for this purpose, an adjustment of the mixture and, if necessary, the control times must also be taken into account. Everything else follows the principle of hope. For this reason (to have optimally matched front and rear) Wilbers offers its Nivomat suspension with the matching spring and the corresponding oil for the fork. The system isn't really cheap, but it's very good and automatically adaptive. It doesn't get any more comfortable than this.

Revo or Revo A in the back?....Nevermind. I watched your install video of the Revo shocks. Do you like the Revo shocks or do you wish you went with the more adjustable Revo A?

What about Webbers vs. Legends or is Ohlins the best?

Now legend has "comfort" front suspension. 😮

Its well known that the Axeo front suspension is WAY to stiff, both in preload and damping. When nearly everyone that sets preload at 1 finds it too firm, and 2 and 3 are completely useless, there is a clear problem with the cartridges. Go elsewhere.

Sir great information video. Harley shocks suck big time !!!!!!!!!!! I replaced my front and rear with suspension technology, and I can say WOW !!!!!! now I have a great ride.

I didn’t make the mistake I bought suspension technology shocks

First mistake you used legends suspension. Ohlins is the absolute best in suspension bar none. Every bike that races on a track Harley and Indian sport bikes all use ohlins.
