    Sounds like a great system. I have Legends on my Street Glide Special and when I first rode it after the install, I was hooked. I have seen several get the Wilburs, maybe something for me to consider for the next bike that needs the upgrade to a better ride. Thanks for sharing. Ride safe and enjoy the ride.

    I’ve been considering these shocks for almost 4yrs. The whole system makes sense to me. I’ve watched the RUclips videos and just haven’t pulled the trigger yet, mostly due to cost. I’m not a fan of the stock suspension (who is… Rochelle?????) as it just lacks in all aspects. Well Mr Brooks, your thoughts have helped. I will save my Pennie’s and come next winter get the bikes both set up. Thanks my friend! The was the best HTJ video ever without music! LOL

    Something you said has me stuck in limbo. “You still feel the bumps.”
    I spent $915 on 14” LT Super Shox rear shocks and I’m very disappointed. But I can’t tell if it’s because there is something wrong with the shocks or if it’s because my expectations were too high based off so many RUclips videos that scream “OMG night & day” type things. I’m willing to spend whatever it takes on suspension. I just want to feel it was worth that amount of $. The $915 Super Shox got me $200 worth of improved ride.
    Enjoyed the video.

    The only thing adequate about Harley suspension is the acceptance of the worst suspension of any motorcycle I’ve ever owned. That includes my old Royal Enfield Classic 500. That handled better than a stock Harley. My Sporty has Hagons but if I keep it a bit longer I might upgrade further. We shall see.
    This system is almost akin to the old Citroen self levelling pneumatic system system they used for decades.
