[911boost]

Thought I would post this up as I know a few folks have Harley's made for touring (Jeff, Afterburn, Hardrive...).

My previous '06 Electra Glide had a rear air suspension and I really liked that set up. I had the little pump with a gauge in one of the saddle bags and when i went 2-up it took no time to add the appropriate pressure.

Fast forward to '18 I sold my Electra Glide to a friend who was looking for a bagger and picked up a new Road Glide. With all of the wind I typically ride in here and in Wyoming I wanted to try the fixed fairing of the Road Glide.

I really like the performance and how it goes down the road. With that being said, I HATED the new rear shocks. Only one side was adjustable and to adjust it you had to turn a knob that required taking one of the hard bags loose or off completely. It was a total pain in the rear to switch from one up to two up, add the weight of the tourpak, etc.

I went with some adjustable Ohlins for the rear so both shocks were actually doing something and that were super easy to adjust for the changes in weight on the bike. I was very pleased with them but it really pointed out the limits of the front forks. Over the winter my front fork seals developed a leak, which to me is unacceptable on a bike I would still consider fairly new, so the whole while you are in there struck. I tried to get some Ohlins front shock cartridges to match, but they did not make one specifically for my Road Glide.

Based on a bunch of research I went will a small company out of Sturgis called Legend.

WOW, giant difference. You can adjust them based on rider preference and I went one up from their stock set up and while I've only ridden it a few times, it transforms the feeling of the front end.

So if you get a hankering for new front suspension, I totally recommend Legend.
