Traxxion ride report!
« on: May 26, 2008, 05:24:29 PM »

Took a trip up north this weekend - over a thousand miles on my new motor and on my new Traxxion front forks.  All I can say about the Traxxion's is they are simply amazing.  Exceeded my expectations in all regard - even after listening to all of you Traxxion veteran's talk about them for the past months.  Probably the single most impressive addition to any bike I have ever owned...  Can't ever imagine having a bike without them...  I would not have known about them if it were not for this sight~!!   Thanks to those of you who tried them first and introduced them to the rest of us...  I am not sure who that would be - but whoever it was...thanks!  :2vrolijk_21:

Thanks for the post - - - - - - I think. I love it when people help me either increase my credit card balance or reduce my savings account balance. But hearing yet another testionial for this mod finishes it for me. I've yet to speak to anyone who hasn't said just waht you're saying above sadunbar

I'm thinking of buying a spare set of tubes and chrome lower legs and sending them off the TD. From everything I've read and heard about the TD front end, there's no way I could sell a bike and give away a $1,200 mod that I'm sure I'd be as impressed with as everyone else. Hope springs eternal that H-D will issue another round of CVO Road Glides. I'm gonna wait til the 09's come out and if there's no SERG, I will pop for the TD front end for LD for sure. Then if there's an 2010 SERG, I'll drop the TD off LD and sell it with the stock H-D suspension. Actually LD's better than any of the EG models as it has a modified cartridge front end and stiffer springs. Nothing to compare with the TD, but better than the other bagger models.

That is exactly what I did - between a 25% discount weekend at the local dealer and accumulated chrome cash from the HD Visa Card - I didn't have to lay any cash on the table.  Then I sent the chrome forks and new uppers to Dan at Traxxion - a week later, I had them back ready to go...

Are you kidding me ? I'm in hock to Jim for parts that haven't even been released by the Mfgr yet and now you want me to ante up $1,200. 

Ok, how about I send you the bill ?  Rumor has it your great great great grandfather was the one who found the motherlode at Sutter's Mill.

Congrats on getting your AK-20s, Scott.  They do make for a great ride and go very well with a set of Bitubos.  Enjoy!   :2vrolijk_21:

Well, I have to chime in here.  Jim installed my Traxxion kit yesterday evening.  I was prepared to be disappointed as I was sure those spending the bucks for the TD cartridges would never say the money was wasted, even if it was.  Goodby mushiness.  Goodby front end dive on braking.  Goodby the vague feeling in the front end when cornering.  Good by the bone jarring klunks when you hit an unexpected hole or bump.  Etc. Etc.  The front end just feels more precise.  As far as I'm concerned the Traxxion kit is a must, especially for those with the '05 front ends.  My wifes FLHX alway seemed more precise than my SEEG.  No more.  The difference was noticeable in the first turn.  The bike also seems more stable at extra legal speeds.  Don't get me wrong, I'm no speed demon in the North California twisties but I picked up several mph through the really tight stuff.  This kit really does work.  You will not be sorry. 

Thanks to all who posted earlier with their experiences.  And a special thanks to Jim (hd-dude) for dealing with my wife and I for 4 hours while trying to run his business.  If you are in his neighborhood you couldn't go wrong with asking him to work on your bike.  He's going to be working his business full time ( I hope I can say this) so send some business his way.

Dan;

I'm really happy you like the AK-20's, It was great meeting you and the wife and I enjoyed the conversation. Thanks for the kind words also! I hope to see you both again soon.

 :bananarock: :pepper: :cucumber:  It has to be the biggest "no brainer" addition a guy can make to the bikes.

After having them on the 06 SEUC, I wasn't even interested in riding the new 05 SEEG without getting the Traxxions on it first.

If I didn't do any other mod it would be the one I'd do every time.

Glad to hear there are no non-believers among those with the mod.  Now, did ya'll get the ass end taken care of at the same time?

Progressives on the SEUC before they had Bitubos and then Bitubos on the SEEG.

Love 'em both but the Bitubos give better adjustment.

Hard10's now digging through all the couch cushions looking for change as his future suspension upgrades now involve both ends of the motorcycle. At least that way you don't have to decide which end to do first. :2vrolijk_21:
