Please explain what this upgrade is.

The AK-20's are replacement shocks for the front forks and the Bitubo's are replacement shocks for the rear. You can get the full story here.

I put the bitubos & Traxxion AK-20s on my SEUC4. Had the bitubos on for 2 month before the AKs. Between the two, the AKs are a better performance improvement. I don't cringe when I'm about to hit a pothole, rough spot or railroad tracks on the road anymore. I never bottom out with the AKs but often bottom out with the bitubos hitting a bad spot in the road. I think I need to dial in another click or two. I'm already at 8 clicks on the bitubos. But when I am just riding over regular road with the regular bumps, the ride is great and a huge improvement over stock.

Rickc thats awesome. Im gonna go this week and get the bitubos done I already have the ak-20 and love them. Its kinda nice for this one I live about 2o min. from TD.

Hi RickC,
the information about the TD I found on the net, but
do you have any more detailed infos about the bitubos?
Partnumber, length and anything like that. I'm trying to
find someone who could do that here in switzerland, but
I have to know precisely what I buy, before I ask one
to put it together.

thanks, Bandit

bitubo's are made in Italy. The P/N on the box my 330mm's came in says HD004WMT03; HARLEY D. POST. INT. 330
The numbers under the Bar Code are 033914  069032

I imagine bitubo in Italy can tell you where to get these over there. Switzerland isn't that far from Italy. Why not take a trip to the bitubo Factory and tell us what you think and get some pics!

the 300mm he said those match stock ride hight~

Yes they do. This SERK's are originally 12" too.  Reason I asked is I raised mine with the 330's. I raised the front too with 1" taller AK-20 Cartridge conversion. The taller ride height allows for a greater lean angle, increasing cornering ability. I did that to my FXR3 also. While doing this work, you have the ability to change back to a standard height suspension for better handling. Just making sure you're aware of that option.

Hoist!
