Be advised that the Legends front cartridges will change the ride height and geometry of the bike and they do not disclose this. My local H.D. installed the cartridges on my 2018 CVO Roadglide just before Daytona 2025 and when I went to ride the bike in Daytona for the first time it was completly unmanagable with low speed turns, the bike wanted to flop over.  I visited Legengs at Destination Harley and was told that the suspension does NOT change the geometry of the bike.  When I got back home I brought the bike back to the dealer and they reached out to their vendor (Drag) who in turn contacted Legends and was informed that the ride height DOSE change. Just a side note, I have an EZ Up centerstand on the bike that no longer works because of the ride height change and I also visited with EZ Up who were also at Destination and they put their maxium height stand on the bike and it still did not work but they were nice enough to give me additional steel plates to weld on the legs of the center stand.
When I got back from Daytona I contacted Cole at Legends myself and he informed me that they do not disclose the ride height change and would not accept a return on the cartridges because they are now used (Total B.S.).
Totally fustrated with Legends, my H.D. dealer is putting the original front suspension back in the bike.

The issue is not legends.  The issue is your dealer.  Your dealer obviously ordered the wrong cartridge's.  They ordered and installed the ones for a regular Street or Road Glide.  They did not order the CVO specific 1 inch shorter cartridges.  Sad a dealer doesn't know a 21 front wheel requires an inch shorter front suspension.

An unlikely possibility is legends put the wrong part in the box.  I'm more inclined to believe the dealer made an ordering mistake.

Legends makes the right cartridges for a CVO with the 21.     https://www.legendsuspensions.com/product/axeo21ko/
