gotta get me some to complete my Dyna. Keep up the good work and instructional videos!
thanks for video - love the office clips thrown in
I am glad you did this,. I have AXEO installed on my 2019 Road Glide Special but I set the preload to total weight not just rider weight so I them set to stiff and it was a pretty harsh ride for me especially on roads with a lot of smaller bumps. Since watching this I pulled them back out and took them back to less than 250lbs and the ride is so much better.
Great presentation!!!
Just got axeo and revo arcs for my dyna can’t wait for them to come in and get them on!!!
Awesome! Thank you for your business we truly appreciate it. We hope you love them. Don't forget to read the front and rear install guides and make sure you get them setup for your weight on the fronts and correctly set suspension sag on the rear. Please reach out to service@legendsuspensions.com if you have any questions.
What kind of torque wrench is that? Super nice
Does this help to get rid of the clunkey front end noise from the stock crappy suspension
On a 2017 does one of the fork tubes need to be replaced before a the install. Keep getting diff answers.
Revzilla says mu 03 wide glide needs 39mm tubes but I can't find any for my bike.
I'm hoping to put front and rear Legend Suspension for my 05 Dyna Super Glide. What can I expect to pay for installation ?
Hi is the Nut for the instalation oft top inclusive in the Kit?
can anyone tell me what size the Allen bolt/crush washer is at the bottom of the fork slider (drain bolt) SPECIFICALLY the new one I need to get for the 17' FXDLS ie (5:56) in the video? would like to know the length/pitch so I don't have to go to Harley 2 hrs away and just go to the hardware store.
Awesome video got the legends Axeo -1 installed on my 2020 RGS by a Indy. But the front end hits very hard on bumps not the riding on clouds everyone says, bike has about 800 miles since install any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

What's the socket size for the top cap on the dynas? Are they universal or do they change from one year to the next. I got a 2012 and am about to do this swap. Also...wouldn't happen to know the torque specs eh? For front and back shocks?
Cheers....and great vid....thanks for making it slow and steady for easy understanding.
HOTDOG$401
It should be 1-3/8" which is extremely close to 35mm
Several brands make short sockets for this Motion Pros is one, they can be found with a quick google search.
Top cap should be torqued to 25 FT-LB or a firm as you can grip the tube while someone torques it. unless you have a fork tube vice like a Park tool rubber jaw vice.
Rear shocks you should follow standard torque specs in the manual.
@@LegendSuspensions Awsome thanks!
I had these installed on my brand new Lowrider ST I love them but they seem a bit harsh on small cracks in the road? Is this to be expected the first few miles?
Hello Tim, thank you for your business. The Axeo's are a performance front suspension so the ride can be firmer than stock over some bumps, but yes there is some break in time as well as the bigger thing here, it is an adjustment going from really soft squishy stock suspension to something firmer and more performance based, we think if you get some good riding miles on them and give them a little break in time as well as time to adjust to the new feel, they should soften up for you. Your weight and preload also come into play so make sure this is set correctly for you. If you have any additional question please feel free to contact us at legendsuspensions.com and try our chat feature, it is run by real people, they can call you if needed as well.
Dealer dis instal on my Fat Bob 2018+ but feels stiff and bouncy on a rough road.
Hey there, thank you for your business, please email service@legendsuspensions.com and they would be happy to go through the things to look for and ensure everything is done correct and check on some preload settings for you.
Mine didn't come with the 2 little springs for the bottom
Hello, thank you for your business. We are sorry to hear that, they are needed in the most kits, we ask that you please email service@legendsuspensions.com and let them know. Please include your contact info year make and model as well as the kit purchased, and they can get you those springs.
Is there any video for the sportster, from the website I understand we need to even change the fork tubes.
@KT < We do not have an install video for the Sportster yet, however the install in quite similar. There are two options on the front end depending on the year and sub-model of Sportster you have, they are both 2+ front ends, however, one allows you to use stock tubes and the top cap of the Axeo is longer for height adjustment, and the other Axeo is an overall longer than stock kit that does require the use of longer tubes.
@@LegendSuspensions Thank you for the explanation. Mine is a 2017 sportster 1200 custom, XL 1200C . Will the model that uses the stock tubes work with this model because when I searched on the website, I found the one which required using aftermarket 26.25" tubes. I am in India and getting all such aftermarket parts becomes a challenge.
My kit for m8 street bob didn’t come with the lower rod seat. Will both my stock forks have that piece to put onto the new carts?
Hey Daniel thanks for reaching out. Please email service@legendsuspensions.com and they will get you taken care of. Thanks!
I wish I could install this on my 2015 Street Bob with 21” wheel. Legend said these are only made for 19” stock wheels. Is there any plan to make a kit for Dynas with 21” wheel? Does it make that much difference to possibly bottom out the fender to triple tree as told to me but Legend tech?
CT,
It is unfortunately a fitment we don't test fit or recommend, it could be possible, however it becomes a run at your own risk install since it is outside of the OE setup. Keep in mind when you add a larger wheel and tire you will raise the front of the bike and if you do not have the correct height rear suspension you will be taller in the front, and this will negatively impact ride, handling and performance. It will also give you an increased rake angle which does not aid in performance or handling. It tends to unload the weight off the front end and make it feel light and overload the rear suspension and that will "upset" the bikes feel, comfort and the things listed above.
@@LegendSuspensions I appreciate the feedback and understand as a manufacturer you have to CYA for liability. I took the chance and ordered the standard Axeo set for my Dyna and willing to bet it will be okay. There appears to be enough travel and clearance above the fender to lower triple tree depending of the fork design that I will test as suggested by your tech. In theory, it should bring me back closer to the stock height up front. With Ricor Intiminators and stock otherwise than removal of 5/8” from spacer it has been awesome to date. The bike handles way better than stock did even with my 18” and 180 rear tire. I believe that the Axeo set up with the Revo A in the rear at 13”, I will have the best ride and handling that I could possible have. Anyway, it will be way better than what I have now. You folks can’t test this, but I can. Thank you.
When setting the preload screw I lost “zero” how do I find it. I don’t think it’s all the way down to the small circle from what I remember... can you help?
Here is your answer: ua-cam.com/video/aI7k9jxxrJY/v-deo.html
DO A INSTALL ON REAR SHOCKS WITH REVO A ON 97 WIDE GLIDE
Hey Aaron thanks for reaching out. We actually have a video of a rear install that is very similar to your bike. Here is the link, ua-cam.com/video/PL1yWMgOVg4/v-deo.html
Hope this helps.
@@LegendSuspensions NOT EVEN CLOSE GREAT BASICS THOUGH THIS IS A STOCK 97 WIDE GLIDE
Why the music ?
I had to go to another video.
Noted, thanks for the feedback.
what bike lift is that!?
Hello,
All of our lifts are.
Brand: K&L
Model: MC625R
We love these lifts, we have about 6 or 8 of them now.
why is the preload set up to a 250lb rider when your only 185, vs others suspensions that uses multiple different springs
Hey George,
Good question, we use a different spring and spring rate for our suspension than others. Our system also has a floating piston with oil and nitrogen on either side, this allows the system to adapt to rider weight and how the person is riding the bike. It essentially adjusts on the fly based on the feedback it is being given, to provide you with the optimal suspension performance for what you are doing. If you cruise 400 miles on smooth interstate the shaft speed is moving a certain way, pulling out of a parking lot and hitting a bump at 10 miles an hour is a different shaft speed, hitting a 2x4 or coming down from a wheelie is a different shaft speed. Our spring rate and the way the suspension operates, will cover a wide range of riders. and just because the setting is for 0-249 lbs, that does not make it stiffer for the light rider, because the system works based on the input it is given, and a lighter rider is not going to compress suspension like a heavy rider, so it works optimal for both riders, when you ride more and more aggressive it gets more aggressive, if you just cruise, it will just cruise as well and act as such. The system is constantly tuning itself to make sure you are always planted and getting the correct contact patch regardless of your weight within that weight range.
We hope this answers your question, if you need additional explanation, please feel free to reach out to our customer service department and they would be happy to help.
Hey what about 1999 this paper in my kit says order part number 45361-90
