I have the 13” rwd shocks from you guys. Is it gonna affect my geometry drastically/negatively if I do +2” in the front? I can already tell a difference with how the front feels with the rear lifted. Also me being a big boy would I want to cut the spacers any less since I would possibly use a shit ton of preload? Thanks!

@michaelskinner6531 4 жыл бұрын

Is there any benefit/detriment to extending my forks first or replacing the shocks first? And, how do I measure the preload? Knowing how much of the space to cut off

@@chuglife57 what are you talking about? My bike is a 2016 dyna low rider S. Which has a cartridge in the front left, and standard spring on the right. So it only uses 1 spring on the right. It's done correctly

@chuglife57 3 жыл бұрын

@@PkwyDrive13 That's not how spring rates work. I've built dozens of FXDLS's. Outside of specifically designed front ends (OEM fxdls), the springs / cartridges have to match to prevent uneven dive while breaking. Your front end will lower unevenly during breaking which applies oppositional force to the lower side. If that happens aggressively enough, your front end will hard slap your tank, and your face will be a meat crayon on the concrete. Do it right, remove the cartridge, buy the new damping rod, and fix yourself before you end up dying.

If upgrade my front suspension on my 17 street bob and I don’t want to do the plus 2 kit and I buy the regular patriot Suspension kit with the speed merchant preload adjusters, how much of the spacer and I supposed to cut?

You will need to cut the spacer as they are not pre cut. The spacer is aluminum so you could easily cut with a hack saw.

Great video as always. However what's the advantage of 2 up fork tubes? Aside of just raising the front end, does it help with turn in and or stability at high speed. I'm interested in the set up. Just really curious of its entire purpose. Ride safe and God bless.

Leo, Sorry we missed your comment. Th advantage is definitely cornering. It gives you a ton more lean angle clearance.

Question. What was the advantage of removing the 2 inch fork extensions at the top and replacing with 2 inch extended forks. Wouldn't the result be the same or am I missing something? I did not see the 2 inch extensions pit back on. If you had kept them would that have given you an overall extension of 4 inches? Would that have been a problem? Sorry Harley home mechanic NOOB here. Hey guys, fantastic videos. Please keep them coming.

@speed-kingscycle7390 5 жыл бұрын

Lord Greystoke with the extensions the rider couldn’t use the Pre Load Adjusters. Now with the +2 tubes he is able to utilize those to dial in his pre load. At the end of the day the extensions and the tubes equal the same length. Just with the tubes the pre load adjusters are useable.

@speed-kingscycle7390 5 жыл бұрын

Lord Greystoke 4” is a little more then we would like to achieve. +2 is a great length with 14” shocks. Gives you massive lean angle in the canyons.

Heres a question(maybe a dumb one)....why does the fork tube length have anything to do with the amount of fluid you use??

@losstok 4 жыл бұрын

ironmyke696 the amount of oil is not as important as the amount of air, its the AIR GAP thats important.i would do as recommended by the manufacturer no matter the length of the tubes. For example, If it says 4 inches from the top then that’s what it’ll be.

@willdoucette8272 3 жыл бұрын

How come you didn’t bleed any air out of the fork tubes after you added new oil?

Blacksmith 76 you can just run to Home Depot and get a piece of pvc pipe which is what the plastic spacers are. Just get the same diameter and thickness of what you have already and cut to length.
