I have fitted legends suspension front and rear to my streetglide (Wilber weren’t out when I did it) the difference over stock is amazing . Stock Harley stuff was pretty poor the front is too soft and badly damped and the rear is just there to keep the tyre off the mudguard , comfort isn’t part of the program. Now rail tracks and bumps are absorbed not transmitted and the front forks no longer dive and patter but track where you want it to go. Personally I would upgrade the suspension before I bothered with any engine work as it transforms how you can ride the bike so much for the better.
Hang the bell on the lower frame , toward the front ....
Thanks mate
@@OldNotDead-Club 👍
You will be very pleased with Wilbers, I love mine done about 14k on mine now and feels great the auto levelling ease to suit solo or two up is a bonus and who doesn’t want a extra inch 😜
Also Stefan is a great ambassador who is happy to answer any questions.
Right on, so true!
Bought Legends thinking they were really really good, turns out they were okay at best. I recently switched to Wilbers and I’m completely floored how well they perform! Worth every penny!
They are fantastic aren't they!
Wow! 11:40 Looks like East Los Angeles scene for HD's has showed up in OZ. The Home Boyz would be proud. Chicano scene down under!!! Beautiful custom bikes!
Thanks for watching
I love seeing you and your wife ride together. I’m frustrated because I purchased Legends and did not learn about Wilber’s until a month later. The Legends are nice but I’ve heard that the Wilber’s are the best for many reasons.
Thanks, yep they are AWESOME
Installed them on my 21 SGS. One and done! German engineering at its best...enjoy!
Try adding a frame to engine stabilizer bar it completes the package.
Thank you
I've been running Wilbers on my ultra limited since 2020. Just a amazing ride all the time. You dont have to mess with anything.
Thanks I agree
Wilbers suspension is awesome on my Softail Slim . The Mono shock is not self levelling but their custom adjusting system is easy to use once you have set up the sag . I raised mine up 1" for more Suspension travel and better turn as recommended by Suspension R Us . so happy with the result
Thanks Lizard
Good video sir. I have Legend suspension which I really like, but if I buy new suspension in the future, I’ll definitely look into Wilbers.
Thanks for watching
Congratulations on the new suspension.
It's one of the more expensive things to do on a bike and it's always a night and day difference to stock HD
Thank Simon, I always do suspension on a HD this was the first that I let it go for a while.
Brilliant video mate. You're story telling has gotten incredible and your video just flows!
Thank's Graham that's really appreciated
😎👍
Big thumbs up for the " Sensational " channel...
I did a 3 day fall foliage ride earlier this week in the mountains of South West Oklahoma...
Had a wonderful time, the views and the trees were Amazing...
Sounds great!
Another get episode 🖤🧡🖤
💪🖤🧡Old not Dead🧡🖤💪
May all your days be Harley days🖤🧡🖤
Safe travels 🙏♥️🐾🐾🇦🇺
Thanks Tex, appreciated
I have Wilber’s on my Road King Special it’s brilliant, you can load up for a few days away and no problem.
Yeah its great, thanks for watching
Awesome folks at Suspensions R Us my last few bikes have all had their products fitted. Last set was the Wilber’s for the 22 Ultra and I love em.. Good choice Aymen👍🏻🇦🇺
Thanks
I also have Wilber’s absolutely love it!!😊
The best!
Another very informative vlog. Graeme & I are always together on the cvo ultra and we have done the rear suspension only with Ohlins and its still isn't right but we also have low profile tyre which doesn't help either. May have to look into Wilbur's especially after talking to Sarah and hearing how happy she is.
Always love the rides we have. Thanks.
I had the brand you mentioned on my Road King Classic, very good shocks but significantly stiffer than Wilbers. As Aymen mentioned, it was a pain to remove both saddlebags to do the preload adjustment with/without a passenger. So I sometimes was too lazy to adjust for a passenger.
Thanks Tennille, look forward to the next ride
Love the content of your vids cobber having a local say and input on issues is a bonus, my old not dead patch arrived today cheers.
Thanks for supporting the channel
One of the best bike investments.
It certainly is!
I've been watching Wilbers since picking up my newest bike 2 years ago. I'm hoping to get it this year, but I have to convince Mrs. Banker of why it's worth the cost. Incredibly expensive in the states and only one distributor to go through.
On the gremlin bell, I hung mine on a floorboard mount. I had it apart this weekend and found out that about 10% of the bell is gone. I never heard it drag, but apparently it slides along the ground with every left turn. I'm moving it as I put the floorboards back on, but not sure of where yet.
Thanks for watching, it's worth it if Mrs Banker will come around
First thing my bike guy did for me was change the front springs much like yours. The difference in ride and handling was amazing plus it is also a safety consideration. Good on yer.
Thank you
About time aymen. Your wife will be keen to get on the back now,world of difference. Excellent decision!
Lol shes happy!
You confirmed my thinking big fella, talked to Izzy Monday kit arrived Tuesday installed today, he was fantastic to deal with love the shocks im happy as a hog in Sh!t
Awesome shocks arn't they!
Great video, I might have to look into this for my Road Glide.
Thanks and well worth it
Great video! I looked into Wilbers for my 2022 Heritage Softail but it wasn’t available. I got spoiled by the self adjusting suspension on my Pan America. The “remove the seat, break out the special tool, twist the adjustment and hope you got it” system is a joke. My ‘22 BMW RT also has self adjusting suspension. I was shocked (pun intended) when I read that the $50,000+ USD CVO has a big knob like my 1983 Suzuki had.
wise words! Thanks for watching
There is a mono Shock for the Heritage but will take about 6 weeks while they build it for you but is not self leveling . it is well worth the money .
Wilbers Nivomat self-leveling for M8 Softails will be available by March 2024. Road testing is completed, it was a challenge to integrate the self-leveling into a flat mounted mono shock.
@@stefansgarage3014 Sounds like heaven will be here soon for Heritage Softails and Sport Glides. Might have to pay a visit to Matt Laidlaw with my Sport Glide. 2018 Sport Glide.
That's the first time I've heard of self adjustable forks amazing as long as Sensational Sarah is happy you'll be a happy man 😂🙏🏽👍🏽
The forks are not self-leveling, the rear shocks are. No need for a self-leveling front on a Harley
Good video mate, I cannot stress how important it is to have good suspension, I see so many throw on random rear shocks and never look at the front. Keep up the good work...music is cool as
Couldn't agree more, thanks its appreciated
Haha another sensational clip. Loving the back ground sound tracks as well mate. Great clip, just keep on getting better & better. Actually you are looking more energised again!
Thanks Aaron, the warmer weather has revitalised me
People do engine mods so quick - it should be suspension first. Landscuisers are sold with garbage suspension - ppl will still buy them. Harleys are sold with garbage suspension (M8 softail much better) but ppl will still buy them and look to upgrade , so why sell with great suspension. Great vid. Love the vicla part.
Great video mate. I have been considering a suspension upgrade on my bike now for a little while....after watching this video, I think my decision has been re-enforced. Thanks! Ride safe mate 😎
Thanks and good luck with your choice
Love the video - it was ….. well …… sensational 😊
Safe rides 👍🤜
Thanks 👍sensational comment
My 1997 Heritage Vicla i got Platnium Air rear Racetek and Emulators front. 2021 Ultra Ohlins Screaming eagle rear Racetek and Emulators front
Nice
Low point on bike for the bell I have mine under the regulator at front of bike
Thanks
Another great episode mate. Hammering is great. Lol. Gremlin bells are best at the lowest spot on your bike I read.
Thanks, appreciated
I would like to change my V Rod stock suspension to Wilbers and have been planning to get around to doing that for a while. I hear a lot of positive things about Wilbers.
I have to ask you, where did you buy the black leather jacket with the quilted shoulder pads you are wearing in this video?
New subscriber. I do like the videos. I think you are doing a great job and putting out very good content. Having said that, I would mention that I’m not a huge fan of the music. I’m not subscribed to a Harley channel to hear Tiffany music. A little music is fine, volume is key. In this video I would recommend the volume at 0.
Over all,, good content and interesting. Keep it up.
Thanks, it's impossible to please everyone so I just please myself what music seems appropriate to me on the day
@@OldNotDead-Club fair enough
I was looking at Öhlins but didn’t like that you have to adjust them then I saw the Wilbers set it and forget it and I figure I’ll buy them for my Xmas present and a set of Tab Performance 50Cal slip on’s with the Zombie baffles 😁
Well worth it!
Good video! I put legends on my road king, but if i had it to do over I'd go with wilbers. I like the adjustment free aspect on the rear suspension for sure.
What brand is the 3/4 helmet do you wear? Thanks
I just took delivery of my anniversary road glide. I was on a 2011 road king with air shocks and the difference is incredible. The gliders rear suspension is shitful, I feel every bump, the back end is dancing through tight corners. My next thing for it after the apes is rear shocks
@OldNotDead @OldNotDead-Club I just found your channel and love it !! Subscribed. I'm also looking at the Wilbers Suspension system for my '21 SG. Apparently there is a front cartridge kit coming out soon too. Fortunately I also have a local performance shop that distributes and installs. This is the first real "big ticket" mod I'd be doing to my bike. Do you have any regrets or additional feedback having ridden on it for 5+ months? Thanks again!
welcome to the channel. It's awesome, amazing, lol fantastic. Jump on my face book group and do a post, showing your bike asking about it - i will do a more comprehensive reply and their are other there who will jump in too. facebook.com/groups/oldnotdead
The front cartridge kit for the FL3 models might take a couple of months and honestly, you might not need it. Hardly any customer is missing the opportunity to adjust the front, the Wilbers springs combine comfort with precision at a very good price point. Rear is a different story, here you wanna go towards self leveling, which is a huge difference in comfort, even when riding only solo.
@@stefansgarage3014 Thanks for the reply !
Some ‘sensational’ bikes at the show.
Oh yeah those viclas are awesome
Gold Chain ( Fully Sic) said in my best inner Melbourne yiros shop owners voice.
Lol
Hey Aymen, I have a good question for you. Do you know if the Wilbers suspension system can also be fitted to a soft tail. Example would be my future Fatboy Lo 2017 model year? Onya Mr Phoenix a true gentleman! Oh and great to see you with the boss and enjoying eachothers company 😊🤟🍻
I'm pretty sure they have something. Give suspensions r us a call if you are in Australia or check out the links in the description they will have the details
@@OldNotDead-Club No problemo Aymen. Thanks for your help
Sorry to disappoint you, no Wilbers for the old style Softails, only for the M8s. Conventional Monoshock already now, self-leveling Nivomat starting in March 2024
@stefansgarage3014 Oh....no worries Stefan. Thank you for the intel brother 🙏 much appreciated. Have a wonderful Monday and the rest of the week. 👌🤟😊🍻
The new suspension seems like a worthwhile upgrade, so how much did it approximately cost for your Street Glide, what about this upgrade on a Softtail model, example Street Bob ???
Probably best you speak with one of the guys who sell it as they are experts. If your in Oz ring suspensions r us otherwise one of the websites in the description as I can't do it justice, it's awesome
For pricing, please check your local rep. Street Bob (M8) will be cheaper than Touring, as only one rear shock is involved. Maybe you won't need self-leveling for a only single ridden SB, makes it cheaper as well.
Finally a quality review of what I been telling people about but they still but the ones with the reserve pods. Don’t be a sheep or a lemming 😂
Thank you
You might want to check out the fat front tires next. German engineering is superior. My wife only gets on the back of my bike once maybe twice a year which is actually 9 months. ( snow)
Not sure the fat front tyre suits the SG it looks much better on an RG
So what are your thoughts on airride suspension and the whole lowering thing?
It's not for me, another component that can fail. I don't see any benefit unless you are going for a particular "look" on a certain type of bike.
@@OldNotDead-Club I love the way you think and I am learning to think more like you.
Oh Aymen hbday 🎉just in case 😂✊🏽
Thank you!
Old 04 air shocks on the roadking get around any corner
Thanks for watching
@@OldNotDead-Club did you get 12 or 13”?
@@Bob-2fast 13 taller suspension makes a huge difference (positive) and I believe they only have this size
@@OldNotDead-Club roadking classic and road glide come standard with the 13” , best handling tourers
now that is a power couple. stay in the wind...👍
Thank you
Can you please tell the name of the song in this video ? ... Thank you
Hardtail for life 💀🙃
Lol ouch
Surely there cant be any better suspension than a Fatboy lo.
Lol not from what I remember on mine
Old Not Sore...Anymore!
Lol thats funny
So just springs in the front?
Yes
I have the SE/Ohlins on the rear of mine and need to do something with the front. Would like to get the Ohlins cartridges, but to get the benefit of being able to adjust them you really need to change the bars and clamps which is another few grand.
Shame for a bike that costs a bit of coin, their suspension is about on par with a postie bike.
Turn the music down when you are talking PLEASE
Thanks I will get the levels right eventually
Yes, just needed some balance and a bit better fade in - fade out but good post
People have been doing it for decades!
Thanks
Any late model fat Bob owners here that switched to Wilbers? I saw a YT video on Stefans garage where he converted the front fork of the fat Bob any feedback would be appreciate it. Thank you! Ride safe.
What did she say?
Who and when?
Another informative video , thank you .. Your beautiful wifes bottom will Thank you !! 💜
Lol
Content is great!! Could have been better without the music.

Imagine having to adjust your own suspension preload settings.. ..*and* have half an idea where they should be, sheesh.
This system looks great, but gosh, modern Motorcycles, so swish.
Lol
Bowyekh = Bike. ( translated)
Its good to see the wife on your bike. However , her helmet looks like a 1963 bell scooter helmet. Get her the Shoei RF1400. Safer, comfortable , looks good , quieter and you can add communication device so you can talk to each other.
It will show her you care.
Thanks but she chooses her own helmets. They all seem to fit different head shapes, I cannot wear a Bell under any circumstances, I always use Shoei.
Yes I put wilbers on my 2020 flfbs fatboy love it
Thanks for watching it's awesome
I love what you do but a damn motorcycle should not need a different suspension. The only way to fight this bs is to do what I did, buy a BMW! My K1600b will smoke every new HD in every way and I don’t need to spend any more of my hard earned money making my bike fast or comfortable.
Thanks for your input, but your beemer couldnt keep up with my bike or any of the guys I ride with plus it's just if not more expensive than a HD
