Arrow *INTIMINATORS*.Ricor Suspension Upgrade.*

.

Friday, my Ricor Intiminator Fork Inserts and AMSoil Shock Therapy Suspension Fluid arrived.
Ordered this package one afternoon,
and it was in my hands two days later.

This component only gets seen one time.
Then they are buried into the front forks and hidden forever.
These are a work of art in their construction,
and then they work for you on every single ride.
Out of sight, but not out of mind.

In Prehistoric Times, the Caveman invented the wheel one day.
Next morning he developed the Harley Davidson Front Suspension that we still to this day see on the ShowRoom Floor.
.

A few rides so far, and I really see/feel the difference.

I've been aiming for potholes and
I can actually watch the wheel moving up
without feeling the shock through the chassis/bars.

Railroad tracks have gotten smoother
front dive with the front braking is very controlled
not the slam down as with Stock.
front dive with rear braking alone is just about zero now.

One observation, on high speed sweeps........
Some of our Texas Hill Country roads are really a lot of fun.
I've been riding on them since 1965 on all kinds of HDs,
Starting with a 1964 XLCH (badass machine, way primitive when looking back now).

I know these roads well........
in 95, I had a 96 SportSter Sport XLS (it had pretty fair suspension),
and I would regulary run those sweeps at 120 with confidence.

Last few years, on my 006 FXD, 100 mph was about the limit.
Yesterday, back to 120 with full confidence with the Intiminators and the Ohlins.
.
.
............More riding soon for more observations..............

Hey, it's our pleasure. Means a lot to hear someone say that though, we don't get a lot of positive reinforcement in there, that's for sure.

Anyway, Mud, do you use these bad boys with the stock springs?

I agree with your assessment of the stock stuff. Lord it's horrible!
