Review on πŸ”§ Upgrade Your Ride with Legends Revo-A Adjustable Coil Suspension - 13in. 1310-0959 by Michael Briggs

I'm Now a True Believer

If you've ridden stock HD shocks and found that they automatically compress every time you see a bump in the road ahead, then are these for you. I used to think it was crazy to spend $1,000 on shocks, but now that I've installed and tuned them I can't imagine ever going back to stock shocks that ride like 2X4s. The adjustable rebound seemed a little frivolous to me, but then again, I had an epiphany. Depending on how I ride that day, I adjust a few clicks either way and wow. It completely changes driving behavior. If you're just going to the nearest bar in town a standard Revo set will save you a few/several hundred, but if you mix a lot (etc etc) the A models are totally worth the extra money. Installation is easy provided you have a motorcycle jack that can be lifted off the frame. I found that my swingarm mounts were almost 1/4 inch offset left to right, so I used the weight of the bike (on the lift) to squeeze one side a little, which aligned the bolt holes on the other side. Be assured. To get sag right, don't just ride it straight out of the box and expect your life to change as you ride it. It only takes a few minutes and a tape measure. The springs are easy to turn up or down by hand.
