Thanks for the replies Guys!
I guess I really didn't make it clear in the first post. I'm really interested in the new Legends AXEO Mono Tubes.
Not much known about them yet. I believe that a member here "Scott" has them installed. I know Ohlins are the best out, but again I don't want to spend $1200.00.
My 09' Roadie I do plan on keeping forever, that why I am inquiring about the Legends AXEO Mono tubes.
They are not the bottom of the barrel pricing, nor are they at the top of the price range. Pretty much in the middle.
Legends suspension had a YouTube video regarding these, but. Am looking for real world experience.

As I have said before; The Legend AXEO front end is awesome! I learned about the new Legend suspension from my HD parts manager. He is as close to being a friend of mine as anyone and hard to impress. Legend brought him a demo bike this past summer, he took the bike for several hours, rode the bike on some of the roughest roads in our area, rode the bike harder than I ever would, jumped curbs etc. ( he is a young guy ) he told me that he was amazed and that he now recommends the Legend AXEO front end kit along with REVO shocks for the rear end to all his customers that can afford them. His recommendation was good enough for me, he was right. I have not seen a singe review from anyone that has installed this setup that has not been happy, not one.
Do I believe the Ohlin setup is better? I do, I believe the great reviews from those that have Ohlin's. I just question how much better and if a regular guy that does not push his bike could really tell a big difference. I wanted a product that worked real well, delivered 1. Comfort 2. Control 3. handling, was made for my bike and could be adjusted to my weight, fit my budget and made in America if at all possible, backed with a long warranty.
Without question; the Legend suspension is made for our bikes and installs as easy as any product available. The rear shocks have extended coil length designed for a plush ride with control. I can attest, it works. They have spherical bearings on both ends making the install straight forward. The AXEO front end kit includes 2 mono-tube cartridges that really do change your bikes front end in a big way. Designed for easy installation. Legend claims a professional can install in 1.5 to 2.0 hours. My HD dealership installed for me and charged 2.5 hours, front and back.
I'm sure you can tell that I'm a convert. Good luck with your decision, let us know your direction along with your review once installed.
