legend suspension
« on: January 11, 2018, 11:40:41 AM »

Legend suspension has a couple new products ---------
specifically designed for the 21" knockout wheel bikes. One is for the 2018 cvo rg's specifically and the other is for bikes upgraded to 21" wheels like maybe a street glide or rg special.
I have ordered the front cartridge kit for the 2018 cvo rg for my bike as well as some 13" legend revo A rear shocks. part #'s are 0414-0544 for the cartridge kit, and 1310- 0959 for the shocks. I spoke with them on the phone at length about the setup and oredered pretty much immediately after my conversation. I will post my results here as soon as I get them and get it all installed. Can't wait. The bike as it sits is just a little too harsh ----abrupt--- would be the more appropriate word.

I really like mine in my older bagger, 09.  After addressing the rear.  How bad the front was from HD really showed up.

I took and I suggest taking the time to set up your preload.  There is a chart for weight but I set mine up by actual sag.  Takes some time because there is some install/ uninstall time but it was well worth it.  I did this all dry because the oil is only used for lube.

Second best set up I have ever rode on a Harley bagger.

Got it all installed.....set preload on the cartridges at 1 turn.....sag on rear shocks at 1 inch as directed....rebound on 3 (factory setting)....rode it 100 miles today and could tell the difference as soon as I rode out of my shop.
Ive never had ohlins but these legends are amazing......glad I bought them. Gonna back off the preload on the rear a little tomorrow and soften the rebound 1 click.....should make it perfect. What a difference on this 18 rg.........!!!!!!!

It is a coil type suspension with pre-load adjustment and rebound adjustment.

Any more updates on handling I’ve talked to some people about suspension and I have been really contemplating this route as it’s designed for 21” wheel bikes. I was going to just do the rear 13” shocks but they suggest doing both do you notice the front suspension being worth the extra 1000 bucks? Also did you do the front fork cartridge install if so how hard is it ?

Installed Legend suspension on a 14 Limited.  Front and back. Was very happy with the Legend suspension.

If you install the cartridge yourself, and you mostly ride solo, only set the pre-load 1 turn.  If you ride solo a lot, I found that if you set preload higher, like say 2 turns, it creates a little harsher ride.  Still a great suspension upgrade compared to stock.

By the way, I am installing the Legend Aero suspension in my 2018 Road Glide.  I have also done some other mods to my bike this winter.  I will be changing the lowers and slider covers to gloss black, and I have changed the front blinker housings to gloss black. 

I am going to video my install of the parts, including the Legend Aero suspension and will post to my YouTube channel,

Went with the 21"front end kit and 13"in the rear.     Amazing difference on the new road glide. So much better than the stock stuff.    Pricey but really worth it.     Stuart.  :2vrolijk_21:

Same set up on my 18 Gunship RG....hardtail'ish jolt is gone. Very smooth and solid feel. Anxious to trip evaluate....

I am very happy that I went with legend. Absolutely the best upgrade I could have done. Wasn't happy at all with the stock ride at all.  Stuart.

Have Legend on my 2010, one of the best modifications that I made to the bike.  Considering on the new bike as well, but don't know if I should go to the air ride or not?
