Hi! Interesting video. Could you please explain why one fork leg has the cartridge system, and the other one not? Why are they not both one or the other? Thanks.
I’m not expert, but my understanding is that this is a newer option for some Harley bikes… they claim on their website “Improves resistance to front brake dive, improves cornering and enhances bottoming control”… I think it’s another way for them to make money on their Parts and Accessories because you can upgrade the single side to a double and of course that’s at a cost, or remove it and replace it with the symmetrical set up. Again, I’m no expert but that’s what my research came up with. Also, lots of aftermarket support is designed for the standard suspension, so maybe a way to eat into that market a bit? Idk. Thanks for watching!
Well done very informative video, I ride a dyna and the internals are pretty much the same, people often ask how to go +2" up front, if they should get plus two caps, or longer tubes and I always point them in the direction of the extended dampers if they're on a budget, and drop in cartridges with longer tubes if they have the money. My current setup is a lot like yours only 49mm. Extended dampers, patriot springs and burly brand preload adjusters.
Hello what extension should I use cause on Ebay they are selling the aluminum. Is it safe? Is there someone in the comments who can also help me with this?..
@@riffraffchoppers Yeah, my bad, 49mm… I think its applicable to both. But I’m not a hundred on that since I dont own both and have worked on anything other than a sportster.
This video had the exact info I needed, thanks for taking the time to post this.
Sure thing! Thanks for watching
Good info! Thank you! Have to admit... it was HARD to watch you struggle with those!
Nice got it I was a little confused on how to remove the other cap thank you

just what I needed. I have a 2018 48 and it has the same parts, only my forks are 49 mm. Can you give me the list of parts I need to buy?

Is this safe to use?
I bought the 2 inch extensions, didn't realize what i needed
Why don't somebody make the extension for a cartridge fork? It doesn't seem like it would be difficult to manufacture.

I wouldn’t trust the aluminum ones. Check out throttle addiction if you have a sportster with 39 mm forks. Even 41mm
48mm?
This is applicable to both the 39 mm and also the 49mm. This is a 39mm front end from my 2017 sportster. Thanks for watching.
@@nooowayyjose Iv never even heard of a 48mm what is that on? You didn’t mean the 49mm Dyna front end did you?
@@riffraffchoppers Yeah, my bad, 49mm… I think its applicable to both. But I’m not a hundred on that since I dont own both and have worked on anything other than a sportster.
@@nooowayyjose haha ok I was like what is he talking about 48mm they don’t make one ha
@riffraffchoppers you're annoying. Obviously he meant 49
