    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    • @stefansgarage3014

      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.

    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.

    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! 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.

Apparently there is a front cartridge kit coming out soon too. Fortunately I also have a local performance shop that distributes and installs.

      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.
