Check out how easy it is to install these fork cartridge inserts!! Were they worth it? I'm not sure yet, give me a few hundred miles and I'll tell ya! This install should be pretty much identical for a fat bob as well.

No fork tubes were hurt during the making of this video… Great video bud thanks so much for making it… I will be referring to it when I do mine

@RidinDad 11 месяцев назад

Glad to help man!! It’s messy and a pain in the butt but thankfully it’s a one and done operation

@Crowbar381 2 года назад

I felt the difference immediately with the Legends installed. Much more responsive and no dive on braking, or excessive extension on acceleration which is great. Cornering now feels much more planted and positive. They felt too harsh for a few rides but then settled in and got much smoother My bike did drop at the front by about 0.7” (18mm) so a bit of lean angle lost but I like the look of the front wheel sitting a bit closer to the frame and the new stance it gives the bike. I have no complaints but it would be good to be able to adjust preload without having to take the forks apart again !

@RidinDad 2 года назад

Yes for sure! And really?? I’ve not heard of anyone having their height drop. That kind of sucks man. I do as of now notice no brake dive anymore which is a huge improvement. I don’t really have any good corners enough to truly test how it feels dipping into turns where I live unfortunately. And I do 100% recognize the stiffer ride in general even at its lowest preload setting for me. It has not settled in after several hundred miles already and I got to be honest I am not loving it. If that’s the trade-off that you have to have to get good suspension then I am OK with it but I do believe just based on reviews I have heard from other more expensive front suspension set ups, that you can have the best of both worlds and have a smooth ride while still not experiencing brake dive

@aarondr69 2 года назад

Hey bro, to pull the drain bolt you need the fork upside down. Then, pressing the inner slider inward in an attempt to compress the fork while you hit the drain bolt with a 3/8th impact. While trying to loosen the drain bolt your just spinning the internals with it. Downward pressure compressing the fork while you remove the bolt will lock up the internals and the bolt will come right out. A legit suspension vise will have a 360 degree pivot before the jaws so you can quickly flip the fork back upright and catch the oil in a pan!

@RidinDad 2 года назад

Absolutely. The video is coming. Want to make sure I have enough miles on it to actually review it. I do have a review on my rear suspension a while back. Not sure if you ever saw that one. I haven’t had much time to ride it u fortunately. Been on the lift at home doing a bunch of work to it plus my schedules been pretty crazy

It’s weird, I’ve been in the dyna gang since 2013, it feels like everything we did to our bikes is just repeating itself. Not in a bad way obviously. Just feels like déjà vu but with a different frame.

I've been thinking about doing this for months now. When they finally released their rear shock it put me over the edge just haven't quite ordered everything yet.

Is the diameter of the legends top cap the same as the harley fork tube? Wondering if it could be dropped all the way into the upper tree to get max ground clearance.

Yes it is. It sits flush from what I can tell. Probably can man!

@zachfetter5710 2 года назад

When you ride around and take your hands off or left hand off at least, does it pull left? The dealer is trying to tell me that all Harley’s have a slight left pull due to the primary. If I go no hands it’s pretty instant, if I go only my throttle hand I have to flex my core and push my hand forward to keep the bike straight. It’s ever so slight but it’s really annoying I can’t just relax on the highway.

@Rob.D. 11 месяцев назад

I know it's been awhile, but I was wondering why you didn't go with the rwd rs-1F front cartridge?

Mostly price. And I wanted to see for myself if legends was actually worth it or not. I hear people trash them and people love them. I wanted to see for myself. And they’re not worth it lol

Hi new sub, I have a quick question regarding the 2018 Fat Bob inverted fork seal and oil change. How much oil is required for each fork (stock)? I believe they use sam fork with low rider s. Thanks appreciate

@RidinDad 7 месяцев назад

Same oil yes. Are you changing the stock oil? If so I’m not sure. I’m sure a manual will tell you what the amount is. If you’re doing this setup it’ll be the same amount that I put in. Thanks for the sub!

@@RidinDad i dont have the manual book, and can’t find on google. I just wanna replace the seal and change the fork oil because leaking so bad. The spring and cartridge using stock. If you know the original amount please let me know, thanks

@donnieperry9559 2 года назад

So how was the upgrade?worth it or try a different suspension?

@RidinDad 2 года назад

They helped brake dive a ton. They feel decent overall but they don’t absorb stuff amoothly. Fairly harsh. For the money compared to what else is out there with a price difference I think it’s not a bad option at all but if I had to do it over again I would probably just wait and spend a little more and go with the race tech or the GP suspension inserts. They are more adjustable and I have heard better reviews overall for them

@VagoTwonWick 2 года назад

Do you know the diameter of the triple tree clamps the aftermarket ones are saying 49mm but that doesn’t seem right with the inverted forks

@RidinDad 2 года назад

Someone should correct me if I’m wrong but the inverted forks are 43mm I believe. That being said on a traditional fork set up they are talking about what we have as the bottom. So just because our bottom is 43 I believe the top diameter might be 49.

@Starch-Wreck Год назад

If you must rip the whole bike apart. Is it really even a “drop in kit” anymore? I mean. All lowering fork kits are “drop in” unless you can stuff the springs in from the side.

@RidinDad Год назад

Do you even know what you were talking about? Yes these are definitely drop in compared to the other kids. Do you understand how many components there are that are already pieced together in this kit? You could buy individual pieces or springs by themselves, etc., all of those require much more work than this. And what else would you like this to be for a more drop in explanation for you? Do you have to remove the oil to replace with new oil with anything you do, and you have to take the forks out of the bike to work with them. I don’t really think you have a good grasp on what a full pork internal job would require compared to this kid.
