Another great video Matt ! You're always putting out info the riders want to hear about . Thnx !

Just installed them on my 2019 CVO Ultra Limited .....and the ride is amazing.....

Have had these on my Rocket Roadster for 5 yrs. Amazing shocks.

I had them on my RGS 2016, worked great with two up alone or with luggage.

Hello from Germany. I ride the chassis on my 2019 SGS and I am very happy with it.

Matt you always do superb video for Harley Davidson bikes. What a huge bike..OMG.

Hi Matt, thank you very much for your video. We love to see it, because we belong to the german guys who designed the leveling device. And indeed (@Stefan), if you have to explain the complex function with only a few words, it was well done. There is only one thing, we would like to add: Of course we are glad to hear that you like the riding comfort of this suspension, but please be aware, that it’s main advantage can be found when riding with load and/or two persons. According to the higher weight, springing is a little bit stiffer than and the levelling prevents the suspension from hitting the bump-stops. Try it! Have a merry Christmas Burkhard, Bernd and Norbert

I have Wilbers front & rear on my ‘15 Road King, it made a huge improvement. They where built for my weight, much more stable, no wallowing in the corners. I also put them on my Triumph Bonneville. Excellent product.

Have a 2017 Street Glide Special that gets a lot of compliments everywhere I go, even get videoed riding down the highway and is a downright nice/clean bike. I was so fed up with the ride performance, I was ready to trade it in for a Ultra or Road Glide Limited. I didn't care how it looked, I was done with the ride even after buying a Sundowner seat. A fellow suggested to switch out the rear shocks, then I started researching which steered me toward the Legend brand and after watching videos from Matt Laidlaw & other VLoggers in which Legend wasn't a sponsor, I decided to try the Legend Revo-A coil overs out. Right after the install, I did a 800 mile trip riding through the Arkansas Ozarks, state highways and interstates; including low temps and heavy rain. Conclusion is these shocks are awesome! Just feels planted in curves and soaks up the road bumps. I don't cringe anymore to expect what it's going to feel like when hitting a pothole or bump. Wish I had done it right after purchasing the bike. It's a total different bike now and will keep it for a few more years. I may change out the front at my 50,000 maintenance but factory front works well. No matter what make/brand of rear shocks you go with, the higher-priced get far better reviews and I researched thoroughly, so don't go cheap because it seems you will waste money buying less expensive shocks in the $200-$400 range. You can't go wrong switching out the rear shocks with a higher-end aftermarket if you are going to be putting miles on the bike and riding a lot of curves. Also, I test rode all the 2019 Indian models and they have the same feel as the factory Harley's so I ain't buying into the comments Indian's have better factory shocks. It was suggested to run with 13" due to my riding style of riding in the curves and long distances. I am 5'7" and can flatfoot with no problem (again, have a Sundowner seat as well).

Had Wilbers on my rt1150 bmw for about 8 years..good news for Harley-Davidsons

You should try legends axeo and new revo arc. Would like your comparative review since you’ve ridden a lot of different shocks

Matt-you should check out GP front suspension. It allows you to dial it in with external preload, compression, and rebound adjusters. Also it’s made in SoCal.

Love your videos Matt. Always extremely helpful. I ordered a 21" front wheel for my Road King. Then based on your earlier video comparing the Legend and Fox shocks, I ordered the Legend 21" Axeo front suspension and 12" Legend Revo A rear shocks. Really looking forward to getting that setup.

I hate to say this but 2009 BMW has a technology that allows the rider with the push of a button to adjust the ride quality and also allows you to change it when you go 2 up. Sooner or later The Motor Company has GOT to get on board with that technology. I would think that a "premium motorcycle" like Harley Davidson is would have incorporated this into their bikes by now, in typical fashion they're likely to do so in another 20 years. I've been riding Harley Davidsons my entire life yet when I bought the BMW to be utilized as a commuter bike it really impressed me AND IM NOT EASILY IMPRESSED!

i just installed the new legend revo ARC and the front KO21 cartrage kit over the winter not a ton of miles yet but first impressions i can't believe the difference i hit train tracks that would almost buck me off the bike factory and with my new suspension i could hardly feel them. actually turned around and hit them again at 60kph and thought it would hurt but still nothing. i think you should try a full legend set up on your personal bike and review i bet you wont be dissapointed.

Hey Laidlaw, I noticed that Ohlins makes several shocks and a cartridge kit for the softail and touring frames. They also have some dyna set ups and I was curious if they are worth the money or how they compare to other manufacturers that you've done videos on before?

I have Wilbur's shocks on my Triumph. It took a little seat time to break them in. They were a little stiff at first. They are pretty good now one or two up if I dial up the preload. Still not as good as a mono shock, but it's comfy enough and I can ride it hard in the corners without upsetting the chassis. On the HD, I'm not sure. From what that guy said, it sounds like they are increasing the compression damping based on sensing the additional passenger weight. That's probably a better way of dealing with it than only increasing the preload (which simply compresses the springs). The additional weight will compress the spring anyway. Increasing the compression damping will help keep the shortened travel from bottoming. Increasing the rebound damping will keep it from pogoing around as the shock extends. It all sounds great. The downside is that when you set the spring preload on a conventional shock, it increases the ride height so you aren't scraping pegs at lower cornering speeds. As you don't increase the ride height with these, I'm afraid you'll be doomed to scrape easier with a passenger. For a solo rider, they're probably be great and will get even better with a little breakin. I'll probably stick with the stock shocks for now. I'm sure there are more plush shocks out there, but these get the job done. My Airhawk seat pad probably doesn't hurt the process any either..

Man, you make a Harley full dress bike look dinky when you stand next to it😀

What ever suspension you buy learn how to set it up to your riding style! I find the Germans over think parts! For me it’s Legends right here in the 🇺🇸 Legends service and support is second to none!

Good info thanks

The suspension on my 2017 Street Glide was the biggest disappointment of the bike. Why should a bike costing $26k require another $1k in suspension upgrades to keep it from having the ride quality of a dump truck?

I did not see any 7-8k Ohlins suspension on their website. Ordered up the Ohlins HD-772-13 and their fork kit. Problem with Ohlins right now, 2 plus months back ordered.

Like those gloves. Too bad this may not work for my bike 19 fxbb

Matt, how much suspension travel in the rear did you get after the install and did it increase the ride height at all for better lean angle?

I was very interested until i checked the price over here in the UK. Almost double the cost to the US! Greta review though Matt, thanks

Put just the shocks on 2014 road king This is 3rd suspension I have tried They always talk about not having to adjust for weight changes but my experience is they have the best ride i have ever experienced

Hello from France And Swizerland! What incredible suspensions!!! I would like to buy it for my 2017 Street Glide Spécial. Why is it not your favorite suspensions Matt? This système seems magical

Matt, what is your opinion on these compared to the RWD shocks? I am getting new shocks next month and planning on RWD.

Thier website states $2300 for the combo front and back , plz try Pro-Action shocks and see what you think

Good video Matt. Should you have had your feet on the footboards to get a more accurate measurement?

How does this compare with the Thundermax system?

i'd be really interested to see a test with you putting a passenger on the back, and see how they ride. the whole "no need to mess with pre-load when adding a passenger" is the feature i'm most curious about.

Dose Wilber suspension make rear shocks for Harley Trikes ??

Matt, thanks for another great video. I try to do a lot of research on something before buying and I come to your channel often for a lot of that information. I'm gonna ask you a question which you might not be able to answer honestly because Wilbers is on this thread and Stefan is as well..... but I'm gonna ask it anyway lol. Like Stefan, I have a 2019 CVO Road Glide and until this video I didn't know about Wilbers. I was set on the Legend Revo A in the rear and the Legend AXEO 21 in the front. Would you recommend the full Wilber setup over the full Legend setup?

Great video, nice to see different options out there for baggers, Matt do you know the torque settings for the rear shocks for a 2018 streetglide special, thanks Darren.

Where can I find a jacket like that , does it come in leather ? Very cool

I'm riding @ 6'2/320lbs and currently have the Progressive 944's. Your opinion... is the Wilbur suspension a big Improvement?

Is this setup as good as BMW’s Telelever/Paralever?

does it obtain the factory rideheight or does it lower the bike 20mm (the suspension set sag) ?

If i want to put 21 inch wheel and floorboard on a low rider s can i do that. And If i want to can i put a rear fender and the gastank from the low rider s on a 2020 breakout and allows can i put floorboard on it as will

Hi Matt, with pretty similar price points how would you compare the ride quality between, wilbers, olins, progressive and legends suspension? I ride a 2020 roadglide special.

Thanks for the video. Matt how would this handle with two up and hardbags filled up with stuff. Is it going to self adjust for Ride comfort..?

I currently have 944 Progressives on the rear, and Progressive Front springs on my 2015 Ultra Limited. Would the Wilber set be worth it given I am already hundreds of dollars beyond stock suspension? I'm most interested in rigidity in cornering to avoid the "wave" effect when cornering at speed, as well as overall ride comfort.

I have legends revo A on my 21 RGS… but I’m tired of adjusting preload when wife wants to ride with me once in a while. To the point I just don’t anymore 😐🙄. Is the ride quality at least the same as the stock front and legends on the back? Id love the self adjustment feature when passenger/ gear gets on the bike too. Thanks

I didn't know anything about these. It's amazing how many companies are getting into the HD suspension game. I just ordered Legend Axeos and Revo-As for my Dyna.

which is better for a Road glide limited, Wilbers, legends, or another brand?

I knew you would like our german engineering

Hallo Matt Laidlaw The Suspension Wilbers LCD , ? too Trie Glide Ultra 2019???

So now you have to pay to but the bike back to the way it should be since harley started to cut out rear shocks to save money.

Upgraded my bike with RaceTech suspension rear and front springs for 240lb rider. My tires stick to the road over all bumps and uneven spots on road. I would highly recommend upgrading your suspension over stock.

Looks cool and sounds cool I may have to see what's up with it. Thanks you a great video.

Wilbers, Legends or Ohlins? Talk about choices.

How do I purchase this?????? Care to share any links to the product you’re doing an entire video on???

Hi Matt, I've watched numerous recent videos regarding the Wilbers suspension. With your video being a year old, I was curious as to your opinion after some time has passed? Does the leveling system hold up? How is the ride now?

Man Matt you sould've waited to after the Hoildays, after all those Family dinners you Sag is going waay off 😂😂😂 Would this make a good all around touring set up on a 19 RKS yeah I ve went back to my Kings 😎

We all know how great the stock Harley suspension is, so seriously now how much does these Wilburs cost?

I would like to buy your jacket.....Cool!!

Seems to be legit and working fine! Does this setup change the overall travel or ride height compared to the standard shocks? I wonder if this might be a clusterfuck regarding to the ladies though. I mean, to question their weight might be a bit suicidal. Beleave me... I´ve been married. Keep em´ coming guys!!!!

nice white gloves. what a brand?

Got my SG 114 year 2020 model... Those suspension was really sucks... Compared to my experience riding various of motor bikes model... HD pls consider the suspension for this beautiful bikes... Left behind 30 years of suspension harley!

So if the shocks are customized for the specific rider based on weight (listen to the comments made) then if you gain weight (10lbs) I guess the shocks are no longer optimized?? (I am sure Laidlaw ain't gonna answer - but it's something to think about it seems)

Any Harley Dealer have this type Shock? I live in Sandiego Tkhs

Can you do a test ride with this setup and a passenger onboard and have the passenger review their ride comfort.

I associate Wilbur's with beemers. Didn't know they had HD products.

Wow,,,nothing moving on your bike.☆is it spongy in turns????

What if you gain or lose weight?

What kind of gloves are those Matt?

Sweet jacket bruv

“Get to the chopppaaaaaa”

Save your money and buy Ohlins and it’s doesn’t have to cost you 7000 dollars like Matt said in the video. Big Bear Choppers has the 30mm Ohlins drop in cartridge for 1600 dollars and the Ohlins rear Shocks for 1000 bucks and it’s worth every penny

Hey Matt, thanks for this great Video, but we're "Wilbers" not "Wilburs" :D :D

GP cartridge in the front

I looked at their site and honestly it seems like an overpriced system and old tech (only one side has spring front and rear) if you compare to the legends or Öhlins that also seem to have a lot more options. I'd rather spend a bit more to get legend fork cartridges and rear with separate reservoir. However, from some reviews I've seen these are a great upgrade. So cost effective it seems to me to be worth it for some people.

At least for the non-racing series, they are as good as Bitubo, but Bitubo is way more cheaper

Matt we watch a lot of your videos and we really enjoy them. My wife rides a 2018 Freewheeler and I have a 2020 Street Glide stage 2. We live close to Park City, Utah and we like to ride in the mountains and on the freeways. Almost always solo. We are in our 60's and we are not aggressive riders. I am 5'10" and 170 lbs.. We have been looking at suspensions. We both experience sore lower backs after long rides. We have back rests and upgraded our seats. I am now, considering replacing our shock to see if that will help. Right now we are considering replacing the rear shocks. I really like what I have heard about the Legend Revo and Revo A's in 13 inch. I have looked at the Pro-Action 14" for my wife's Freewheeler. I also like the RS-1 but they are a little expensive and so are the Wilbers. What would you suggest? Thank you in advance for any advise you can share and for your time.

I don’t understand why you pay $40,000 for a machine and you have to start spending money on it such as lights, shocks, wind deflectors, windshields and it goes on and on.

I'll go for wilburs instead of stock suspension

Sounds like Arnie is translating .. 👍

Who else wants to hear Stefan say "I am a cybernetic organism, tissue over endoskeleton."

I noticed the rear shocks were not symmetrical as to looks. one side has a boot and the other does not. sort of strange but if it works. I just don't like things with boots. they are ugly.

I just can't understand why you should need to change suspension on such an expensive new bike. My friend has original suspension on a Yamaha fjr 1300 done 75,000 miles and still works fine.

I always enjoy the content and constantly leave a thumbs up, but the audio while you're riding in basically every video is something terrible.

Matt, you really aren't gonna be happy with your ankles and toes the first time you go down in sneakers. Everytime I see one of your videos and I see you wearing footwear like that I mentally wince. The shocks sound interesting, I'd love to read some reviews on long term usage. Potential maintenance issues etc.

I'll be back🤣😂

If it is a scam, you are still getting safe suspension, if not actually 'self levelling'

if harley would focus more on quality, quality control, rideability, technical improvements and less on marketing, ever more trims and all that crap. it is a shame cause they have a few good models but screw it up with not so goot details and all that expensive crap which is more about looks and marketing and less about what actualy works good. they should upgrade the touring frame with a single shock and diversion and better leaning angle (i drove a touring model and the leand angel even on an on or off ramp on a highway was at its limits). they should improve these facts and not every year new colors and some different trims for ever increasing prices.

Stock suspension is crap compared to Legend front and rear. Night and day difference.

Wilbers is top notch but maaad expensive. I go with progressive suspension on my bike . Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

HOT!

I like how you tweak the Indian guys. I guess it's ok to tweak HD but when someone tweaks back all hell breaks loose. Keep tweaking them because they are going to keep tweaking on you.

Oh yes. German technology along with supreme craftsmanship can't be beat. But then again, they did start 2 world wars and lost both.

It would be nice when you buy a $35k bike you would get better than the crap that comes from the factory. Like BMW, state of the art suspension OEM from the factory.

the SG needs more travel

This is what an empty comment section feels like lol.

Shifting with my whole leg and not just my foot would get so exhausting quick!!

$2,338.00, with no option to buy just the rear, no thanks

Hmmm I guess you can really tell how good your suspension is working passing cars on a highway. 🤔 oh wait you went over a set of railroad tracks. Yeah that's better.

On Average many Indian Models have almost twice as much rear suspension travel .. When you have very little travel like most HD models have your not going to have that great of a ride.. You would think after 115 Years HD could figure this out.. All they would have to do is Copy Japanese .. German . Italian or British bikes plus Indian has them beat in this Department ..

Buy a Harley and spend all that money to try and get it to ride as well as a STOCK Indian , Honda , BWM, Triumph , Ducati , Yamaha , Honda , Suzuki does..

Just buy a Polaris Challenger already has great Suspension ..
