Ha! I appreciate that!!!!

Legend

Save money for wilbers do it right the 1st time ....not to disrespect legends

I total agree that you get what you pay for and on this blog this suspension might be the best but...For alot of people we have to do whats best for us and that includes what we can afford...On my Dyna FatBob after a front seal and bushing job i installed Progressive HDuty fork springs and on the rear i put DS Hduty shocks that are adjustable up to 1/2in up or down...i run it at 12 1/2...the result it rides great for me handles like a dream...Is it the best i could have put on it?...No but i paid under $400 for them...And i am happy with it...

Me too. Jesse makes an excellent product and guarantees them for LIFE!

I put on Legend Air A’s, but wondering if Revo A’s would have been a better move!

I only ride one up so I couldn’t see the extra expense for the air shock, recently completed a HOG touring rally and I couldn’t feel much difference loaded or unloaded.

It’s worth it. I am convinced of that.

Yay! Thank you!

Same with me. Changed my FL2 Road King to full Öhlins with great results, two years later I learned about Wilbers and we did the upgrade on my friends identical Road King. So we had a direct comparison and Wilbers won. The front was similar between both, but the rear was a big point for Wilbers...

Night and day difference when I did the same to mine. The stock stuff is really poor.

Right? I’m gonna have to do the switch out...

I'm thinking of wilbers do you recommend not doing the front forks ? What would you do with the front forks now? Or what have you done thanks👊

Its a big ticket purchase for sure. When you see the engineering though it makes sense. Also, they do make traditional shocks for less, which would still be a MASSIVE upgrade over stock.

Don't go for conventional shocks, go for the Nivomat-even when riding only single. The system constantly adjusts spring rate and damping while you are riding. And the front Wilbers improves the ride by 30-40%, not just 10...

Good choice! You will ride the best Harley ever after the upgrade!

Hey! Thanks man! I contacted them because of you!!!

Thanks! I think I might tackle this, but not sure when. I need a tool or two that I don't have it looks like.

@@ProfessionalMonkey Check out my Road Glide CVO Wilbers install video, showing all the tools. To get access to the upper fork bolts, you need to remove the cover of the upper triple tree. Two T25 left and right and the fiddle out the cover. Easier when having removed the seat and all four fuel tank bolts, so you can slide the tank back by 1 in. As mentioned in the video, only RG CVO need a change of the top out springs, you just open the fork plugs exchange oil and springs and reassemble everything

I’m shocked at the difference it makes.

@@ProfessionalMonkey it is shocking🤣🤣🤣

Absolutely. I really like this suspension since it relieves the bike after it’s loaded.

They aren't going to make a 13 and earlier light, but you can put a 14 and later tourpack on the bike and they have the adapter for the wiring to work with a 13 bike.

Sgt. Callahan

Yep. I am an idiot.

It wasn't to the police commishner, either

@@jefflong3719 Inspector Callahan not Sgt.

Yep, I am always screwing something up on camera, ha!

@@ProfessionalMonkey Maybe you do mess things get messed up, but your sincerity and passion for your group and riding in general comes through loud and clear!

Thank you, sir!

I just did my front & rear too. It was a first for me too. I was looking at Ohlins but the wait was forever. I went t with Fox front and RWD in the rear. The front was first and it was a huge improvement (2017 Road King). Those Rs-1's in the rear are pretty bad ass as well.

Legends is now owned by a VC firm...

@@ProfessionalMonkey sorry to bother you but what is a VC firm? Thanks and glad your back!

Dude, I just installed on my Road King. They kick ass. What front did you do ? I did Fox and really like. RWD is coming out with front very soon

@@jeffhelm7581 I cheaped out and have Progressive's waiting for my front end Chrome out. Maybe ill return them and hold out for RWDs....XANX

Check... my Mechanic is a Berlin born guy and I still choose the Cali RWDs.

No kidding right?

And everything you read is true!

My fiancé and I started on sport bikes. He has a Yamaha r6 and I started on that bike untill I realized how stupid I was since I was NOT EXPERIENCED AT ALL and 5.1’ with a 26’ inseam. Didn’t go well lol. Sooo, I gave that to him and I got the 2014 yamaha r3. I have to say that bike is perfect for any sized beginner just to get you out riding and to learn the basics. I had to get something different once I felt like I was annoyed every time we would ride and I couldn’t get out of the way when we incountered 1 of the so many retards on the roads now!!!! Ugh. Oh well!! We saved up and finally purchased the 2019 Harley Davidson blacked out street glide special for him and the 2020 Harley Davidson lowrider s for me. O M G I don’t even want to go back to my scooter of a sport bike. It’s just not the same.

THANKS!!! Welcome aboard. I am glad we can bring you a smile.

Ooooooo a Lowrider S!

@@ProfessionalMonkey yes of course! THANK YOU! Yeah, I went from pretty much a scooter to what I think is a real bike now lol. I absolutely love everything about it. I did relocate my gauges from the gas tank to in between my handlebars, on the little fairing that I have lol. So, I guess I lied. There’s 1 thing that I needed to change. It is also blacked/smoked out like our street glide. I wish we could put pictures of what we’re talking about in here so it would make more sence. I don’t have Facebook or Instagram, my preference. I just have KZfaq. Thank you again and we both look forward to your next videos. I hope all of this makes sense.

The RS-1's from RWD kick ass, love mine!

Honestly, the difference between a well (!) dialed in Öhlins and Wilbers is small (I had both types). The Wilbers Nivomat just takes the guesswork out of the equation, as it is self adjusting even during changing road conditions. AND no more saddlebag removement to change between one or two up. The Wilbers Nivomat is simply better, but would I change from an already upgraded suspension to Wilbers (even as I sell them)-no. It would be too much extra $$s for a small extra improvement. Total different story, if you start from stock and want to upgrade-go for Wilbers.

I will get the fronts done. Depends on what the labor is gonna cost me as to when.

On the 21 it’s just a no go without some persuasion. The bracket isn’t right which tweaks the whole thing.

You better don't! After that you want Wilbers in the rear as well. Front will be quite similar between Wilbers and other brands, as long as you keep the stock tubes.

I remember that!

Absolutely. That’s a low bar though, ha!

BMW used to come with this system in the 1980’s on the R100 RS/RT as it works well on big touring bikes HD have a lot of catching up to do.

@@johnludmon7419 interesting that's cool. BMW's are nice. It would be nice to have as standard equipment or at least an option on HD. At least ABS brakes are coming as standard equipment nowadays.

@@ironsteed5766 I own a streetglide and live in the UK the suspension is about the first thing I changed (legends front and rear) the stock suspension is painfully poor. How Harley haven’t done anything to sort it out is beyond me it is the one historic criticism of Harley I have to concede to none Harley riders . I love the bike but I do feel slightly angry about having to put another $3000 into a bike to make it do what Harley says it should standard.

@@johnludmon7419 this technology is from the BMW.

@@haroldmatson3908 yes 1980’s a 40 year old idea that is too modern for Harley’s bean counters. I love my streetglide and have watched as Harley improve the reliability, lights and brakes but still put junk suspension on the bikes that cost £20,000 .

Thank you!

Great comments brother, such an accurate statement. The front is for handling while the rear is mostly comfort (unless you carve the canyons like I do on my Road King). My RS-1's from RWD are fully adjustable.

That would be cool, but I kind of doubt another company would want to follow suit?

Depends on which ones you get. The nivomats are for distance comfort.

@@ProfessionalMonkey There the ones I'm talking about, what do you think of them ?

They are serviceable it says, but they look too complicated for me to tackle. I would imagine they would need to be sent to Wilbers...

@@ProfessionalMonkey Same here. I can handle the installation of the suspension but I leave the rebuild of the front and rear shocks to authorized professionals.

You get a five year warranty for the set. The right conventional shock can be send to Wilbers for service, the Nivomat can't. This is designed by ZF (the car guys!) to last 180.000mls-enjoy the ride...

Glad it was helpful!

Right on!

How many miles do you have on the bike? With not more than 10000mls, it is just a simple oil and springs change. Check my YT videos, one RG CVO full Wilbers install and a RKS heated grips (showing details of how to get to the top forkleg screws). Very important, oil level for your bike 110mm and Wilbers fork springs are mounted with progressive (thicker) ends up.

@@stefansgarage3014 I will definitely check it out I only have just over 3k on the bike so seals and everything should be good! Tearing the front end apart just scares me a little but I'm sure I can figure it out!

@@taylorhall2157 It scared me as well, before I tried it. But the oil and spring change is really easy and you don't need many tools. If you have questions before starting, contact me on instagram stefans_garage or info@stefans-garage.com

Ain’t that the truth!!!!

They ship to the UK. They're based in Germany.

Here You get my review. It is simply the best ride for a Harley Touring (and I had a golden brand on my RK before). I just installed 4 kits during the last weekend (here in Germany) and just got smiling faces and thumbs up from the owners. As far as I know, they have a UK rep, but you can contact me on instagram stefans_garage or info@stefans-garage.com , to give You a personal Wilbers briefing regarding right setup and install. By the way, thanks for watching my channel...

And I have to add, check out Blockheads Wilbers comparison. They did a side by side comparison between stock and Wilbers Road Glide Special-you see the difference right on the screen and you can hear it!

Yup. I realized that later...

Thats what I thought!!!

That would be a good one. I don’t even know how...
