I have Monotones on now. Are the AXEO's a noticeable step better?

From my experience, yes. Check out the YouTube link below, explains how they are different and how they are made.



By the way, you can buy the Legend AXEO front end kit at Iron Aces speed shop for $660.96

Is there less labor involved in installing this vs the Ohlins FKC101 cartridge kit?

[SmokeyJoe]

These are slightly easier, but not much

Legend told me that installation should take 1.5 to 2.0 hours on a 14+ Ultra. My local HD dealer charged me 2.5 hours to install the Legend AXEO front suspension and Legend Revo rear shocks. Hope this helps

Checking in on everyone that has been running with the Legends suspension. How do you all like it now?
Feedback please. I am pondering this set up Axeo front and Revo-A shocks rear.

Same here, how are they working out for the guys that have them?

I recently installed the AXEO's and was able to try them out this past week (highway & back roads 90 miles total), noticeably better than the OEM forks - takes up the small bumps as if they are not there, on the large ones - they are absorbed very well and front end dive on braking is greatly reduced, the front end seemed better planted. They are set on 1 turn (I'm 178#and ride solo), I had the progressive mono's on my 2011 and I can say the legend's are a much smoother ride combined with the legends AREO A air shocks that I have on the rear. Install is very simple, only out of the normal tools required are the 12 and 19mm hex bit sockets, I utilized the bikes fork brackets as a vise. In my opinion, I would recommend the Legends AXEO fork springs.

Want to bump up this thread. Considering the Axeo over the Ohlins FKC 101, and want to do this as well as the CCE Triple Tree.

Any further updates from those who are running the Axeo?

A friend and I got out last Saturday and we did a 230mi ride (Backroads, twistes and freeway) and I can say that I was very impressed with the ride with the AXEO cartridges (see post#21). My friend has ordered a set and I'll install them on his 2015 CVO RGU when they come in.

Well I happen to google the Ohlins FKC 101s.

There are a couple places selling them for $700.00 vs Axeos for $629.00.

When the time comes, I decided I will go with the Ohlins FKC 101s. Since I already have the Ohlins 2-2A's on the rear.

That's pretty cheap for the FKC 101's. Howard does them for about $900. I've been searching the 'net and haven't seen any discounted Axeo's as mentioned in the older posts- which places have these prices on the Ohlins and the Axeo's?

[North Star]

Yellowbird, I see your the OP. Iron Aces and all the other usual discounted places show MSRP of $750 on their websites

NS,


Hardracing.com and Computrack Boston both had them for $700.00. Which is super, super inexpensive!

Everywhere else has them for $1200.00+, so just everyone knows, the Ohlins FKC 101 are for 2013 and older bikes.

Legend Axeos are available through Drag Specialties and one of the discounting H-D dealers can order them for you. Don't know about the Olins.

I checked the hard racing website and after you add springs and fork oil, it comes to $879.00. Still better than MSRP, and around Howards prices, but more than the Axeos.

I wonder if the Ohlins have to be rebuilt every so often vs the Axeos. Already had to rebuild my rear Ohlins. Gets pricey having to do that.
