totally agree. upgraded to revo arc on rear a couple weeks ago and the axeos on the forks today…. NO DIVE - amazing handling and ride 10000 percent better
My Legend experience, 2014 FLHXS...Axeo non-adjustable 'standard' length front shocks. The standard length drops the front of the bike about 3/4". I didn't know that when I had them installed but it's now the perfect front end height. I'm 6'-0" tall and now even more flat footed at stop lights. The ride?...Phenomenal, a little bumpy up until about 50 mph(compared to stock) then it smooths out. At 60+mph the bike feels like the front end is glued to the road and just seems to float at the same time...can't explain it, it's just awesome. Handles fantastic at higher speeds too. Rear-13" Revos...not so good. I'm a somewhat heavy rider and they always feel stiff even after making several adjustments on a 400 mile ride. Although much better than the stock hand adjustables it came with. Junk the stock suspension and install USA made suspension. I would change the front end first next time cuz it was night and day afterwards.
I would have nothing else! I had Legend install both front and rear last spring on my 2016 CVO RG Ultra. The ride and handling is superb!
Great video! Thank you for all you do for our veterans. Ride safe my friend!
I can't believe your story. I've been watching your vids for almost 2 years and I still can't believe it. I swear if I win the lotto I'll jump on my bike and ride out there.
That glide is an absolute beast now! LOVE IT!!!
Great video as always Adam, one of the first things I did was upgrade the oil in the front forks to heavier oil. Now it is time to upgrade everything to Legend Axeo. Thanks for the great review and making it easy to understand.
Big Bear Choppers is killing it with the new 30mm Ohlins front end cartridges and the rear Ohlins HD-004 & 357 rear shocks. Unmatched products by BBC and Ohlins. Call Kevin that man knows his shit!
Very good product
I appreciate your videos Adam. Currently in the market for a Road Glide CVO. Going to put a Stage 4 kit and definitely your suggestion will be added. Thanks again. See you on the Road.
I live the feeling and a quick stop if not bottoming out. My street glide has the 1 inch drop.
Love it!! Keep up the good work brother!! The Americans!!
Thank you Adam💯
Before Legend I installed Progressive 944 and upgraded the front end and man it sure makes a difference. So much fun with upgrades to make a better ride. Ride more 2020
I’ve got Legend Axeo up front and Revolution-a out back on my 2015 Limited. Amazing stuff. Thanks Adam!
Good to see Adam thanks for sharing that with his buddy and that's pretty funny cuz I am a stubborn ass hey we love you buddy keep going
Yeah I'm definitely looking at upgrading my suspension on my ultra come next year
Saw your original vid on Legend. Saved my pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. Got the Revo-A shocks and fork inserts. My 2018 RGS is a COMPLETELY NEW BIKE. Words cannot describe the difference. Hands down the BEST mod EVER. My bike sends you Adam, a huge shoutout for showing its owner that suspension system. 👍🏼 👏👏👏 😎 🇺🇸
I'm glad it worked out for you bro 👊
So far, the stock suspension has been amazing on my 17 RGU. I don’t have a passenger though. I set rear shocks on 5, when loaded, taking a vacation. When not fully loaded down it’s set to 4. Would love to test ride a bike with this suspension. We all know, it takes time to figure out, what works better.
I added front legend to my 16 flhtk and made a huge difference to the positive, way better than stock. Also added the non remote reservoir shocks to the rear. Totally doable with a coupleof hand tools. tools
great info. have a great week be safe out there
Personally love all bikes Harley-Davidson when you spend $25,000 you should not have to worry about upgrading anything
Thanks for another great info video! You and all who do these tests and reviews help so many.
God Bless you 🙏✝️ 😇❤️
Great info Bud, thanks
Good information 👍 keep up the good video 👌
The fork adjustment is by hand or tool and do ya have to take it apart to adjust it thanks Adam
Glad to see your recovering well Brother. I have recovered very well from the cervical disk replacement have been released to ride but my bike is tore down installing front fat tire kit and upgraded suspension all done but waiting on costume rim and powder coat to arrive to complete install. Hope to visit you at the Kriver summer of 21 after retirement April of 21. Anyway your the Man Brother keep up the good work.
Congratulations on your upcoming retirement
Next time your in South Dakota you need to ride a stretch of road called "Iron Mountain " it's only 17 miles but has 314 curves, 3 tunnels some pig tails and switchbacks. Very cool ride.
Nice Thank you👍
I love the bars 😍
15 SG love my axeo front and revo A rear!
Cool video
Is the Alaska trip gotten past "tossing around ideas" ? You have dropped some hints/ideas in a few clips. I would love to join in from PNW.
Wow. That suspension sounds amazing. Too much for this Veteran. Will go on a wish list.
Good video and give Paris HD our best.
Hooah!
I looking a new suspension for conform, thanks for sharing!
I have a '19 Tri Glide and after watching you talk about Legend suspensions for a while I talked to my local dealer and decided on the Revo A for the rear. All I can do is repeat what my wife said " Wow this thing really rides nice now. I can't believe how much nicer it rides from the passenger seat." It truly is a night and day difference in ride. Now to look into the Axeo front suspension for it.
Thanks for the great videos and turning me onto Legend.
I have a 17 TriGlide and thinking of this upgrade. Do you adjust your Revo-A different if you're riding 2up & luggage or use the same settings? How hard is it to reach the knob under the Trike? Did you also install the lift bracket? I'm reading that's a huge improvement as well for handling and preventing bottoming out. Thanks for your opinion.
@@lelap2239 Honestly I have not crawled under to look for the adjustment. At install they set it to mid setting so it has 2 softer and 2 firmer settings to go. I plan to experiment with it a little bit more when we get warmer weather.
@@bobbendt1698 I know 3 is the average setting with 1 being the softest ride and 6 is the stiffest. I can't get Legends to reply to emails or voice mails to get more information. Did you also do the lift bracket? From my reading, it sounds as if this is a requirement since with the 1" SAG you'd really be scraping your pipes without it.
Thank you for your response, it's greatly appreciated.
@@lelap2239 Yes I did the 1" bracket. I didn't like dragging the pipes pulling in my driveway stock.
@@bobbendt1698 Thank you for the information. Now I'm excited about ordering this setup for my Trike!!
I definitely need to upgrade!! My bike is 17 years old!!
Legend Suspension is the only way to go 💯✌️😎
Can’t go wrong with Legend. I’m running Ohlins front and rear, extremely happy so definitely recommended as well.
@@vynnski thank you, I'll have to check them out to 👍
I love my legend suspension front and rear but the setup from legend is very veg on where to start on the front I just wish it was more adjustable like the rear with out having to tear the hole thing apart👍
Which setting did you choose? I am about to do the install,
Great video and good info. I think with the 1" Lowered Legend AXEO front suspension you loose 1" of suspension travel compared to the factory shocks. Is there ride still comfortable or do you feel the road bumps more?
Considering the price of new motorcycles, why should we have to upgrade the suspension? Sorry that burns my ass.
You don't. Just like you wouldn't need to put in a high-performance suspension on a new car. But if you want more than the typical ride, then get the better parts.
Hello Adam i put the revo a s on back and the cartige on front i ride a 08 flht and i love it my touring bike ride like a dirt bike
Are the front axeo the standard ones ? or the 1 inch drop ?
90% of bagger riders would be amazed at the difference if they would just change their fork oil.... Which most forget to do... To a slightly heavier oil. While I'm certain this product is superior to what the factory offered..... I've never out ridden stock Harley suspension with a good 15 weight clean oil. I'll save my pennies for something else.
I use Legend front and back
I like the Harley-Davidson trike Freewheeler in the background...just like mine.
If you ride alot & plan on keeping scooter, Priceless.
Why the 1 inch lower front? Is there a performance difference?
For your rear did you get the 13” or 14”?
So you installed the -1 inch cartridges ? or the stock ?
Does it still require fork oil
Hi Adam great video. I wanted to clarify if you got the 1inch drop or the standard height. And if you got thr standard height did it lower the front at all or did it stay pretty much stock height or did it sit a little taller?
Thanks in advance.
It’s lowered front and back
Legend is what I'm going to put in my 16 RGS right after I get that ASR seat from that guy who rode to every HD dealership in the 48.
Get the seat! Its amazing. I could tell an immediate difference. Grab the pillion too if you have a passenger. My wife said she loves it. To be honest, I havent got all the break in miles yet, but if it gets better than what it is now, its gunna be better than amazing. People complain about the price, but I argue that your seat is possibly the most important upgrade you can make to your bike. If you're not comfortable or you are in pain, you are not gunna want to ride.
👊
Thanks for sharing. I'm glad that both you and your wife are pleased with the seat.
Adam thank you for what you do for my BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ARMS, as a disabled combat veteran who now has to give up two wheels for a trike, it was a big decsion but Drs know best, would you know how good legend suspension are on a HD Free wheeler or Tri Glide, Thank You any info is greatly appreciated!
thank you for my freedom 🇺🇸 legend is the only suspensions I'll use
Pricey at my old age
🤘⚡️🤘
Nice sales ad, I was expecting a little technical installations instructions from a HD influencer.
How long does take to install the front suspension?
for me it was a quick install. the folks over at legends make it as simple as possible for ya
My 2021 street glide rides like a log wagon.. thats partly due to my lighter weight, and Harley lack of accommodation by design
Can you still get a back rest and luggage rack on with those rear shocks
dlawson Lawson yes
👍🏿👍🏿
👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
You back to riding now?? Are you looking forward to spring now? Take care , stay safe 😬👍
Valentine's Day I will be back on my bike
What about the Indians? I ride 17 Roadmaster and the suspension needs help. As you know it’s a BIG bike and that mono shock for touring with 2 people don’t do the job.
I understand making a choice to change the front for better performance but I see way too many touring Harleys have to change out the rear for comfort. I can't figure out why so many touring HD riders feel the need the change the rear. Why riders are so dissatisfied with the factory rear suspension on a touring bike.
Do you have a good view of your instrumentation with those risers/bars?
The view is good
Adam! I was thinking to buy the RWD Suspension for the back & front. Do you really recommend me to buy Legend back & front vs RWD? Any thoughts? Thank you in advance for your honest opinion!!!! Best wishes
My legend suspension is definitely one of the upgrades I couldn't live without
Theres nothing plush about those cartrideges. great handling, Stiff ride.
I yanked them out of my streedglde and when back to stock, with a 50/50 mix of stock fork fluid and screaming eagle heavy. much better ride in my opinion. I ride cross country every year and this has been my experience. I didn't buy a bagger to ride like a dyna.
My 2000 road king is stock, just sayin.
Or just buy an Indian Challenger that comes stock with similar quality suspension and considerable more rear travel .. Or buy a BMW or Honda Gold Wing ect some of them have suspension you can adjust electronically on the road .. with switched in the handlebars or dash .
For me all that electronic stuff is just too much extra cost.. and possible things to fail …
I prefer the old school mechanically adjustable like the Legend set up ..
So how much are those bad boys ?
If you ride alot & plan on keeping the bike Priceless
#Staystubborn
With all the money Harley Davidson is asking, they still refuse to design and offer a top notch suspension like....shall we say other major brands! No..I refuse to blow big money on all these latest and greatest upgrades. From big bore kits to suspensions. A waste of big money!
Stock is soft because they are only springs in side harley shocks..sucks!

My Indians suspension is great stock😎
Adam, I like your videos. I have to ask you this. Why don’t you support Indian more and stop talking about Harley. Harley can’t excite new riders, they are not near as innovative as Indian. Also, Harley marketing went after a restaurant owner for having a mural that was Harley art work on the wall. Harley told them they had to paint over it since it was not authorized by them. This is a mural that was painted by a Harley rider and it is a hang out for mostly Harley riders. Kinda like when they severed ties with you (which did not sit well with me). That is just my two cents on the subject.
I love both my bikes and support both brands because my love for the culture supercedes everything else
Lose all the stickers on the bike bruh, makes it look cheap!
Why buy a Harley and spend THOUSANDS making it into a decent ride when you can buy another brand at the same price point that is already a great ride ? I have had 5 Harley full baggers and now I am finished with that brand.
My feeling is regardless of what brand motorcycle you ride aftermarket suspension is much better than what they put on stock.
Why do HD riders always spend thousands to make it ride like a Honda Goldwing. And nothing you can do to keep the engine last to 400k miles on an average. Without buying a new engine on average around 150k.
Simply....because it’s cool! 😎
I think its dumb to spend that much money on hd, then spend thousands more to upgrade the suspension to maoe it comfortable, like why doesnt hd just make a good quality bike why are people hung up on that name? Just buy an indian like i did, problem solved
@@mattmason7460 lol Harley is a damn good quality bike. The best on the market. I ordered a street glide and got a invite to watched my bike be built start to finish in America. I have only owned Harley's because they are the best. I got asked to compare the same yr goldwing to a factory same yr street glide that wasn't mine because of my upgrades. I even had my 80 yr old grandfather ride both and he said the Honda don't compare when it comes to handling, power, looks, or holding it's valve. The street glide was heavier but it has real chrome not plastic chrome.
400,000 miles on a engine or $150,000.00 on avg, what damn planet are you on? My damn engine in my 2500 rwhp drag car was only 55k.
@@mattmason7460 I wouldn't ride any other bike than a Harley, and yes, I am dumb
