Ohlin shocks question
Just a question for those that have put Ohlins on their Rushmores. What are you guys putting in the front to get rid of the dive? Leaning heavily towards doing the Ohlins in the back but trying to figure out what to do with the front on a budget.

I went with the newest Progressive Suspension setup for touring HD's...the kit that has one leg doing the springing, and the other one only does the damping.
Much more composed than stock, works in harmony with the rear now, happy with this pairing.
I posted a review this spring after installation of the front upgrade...here's a link: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...l#post14944477
All the best,

Yeah I did Pro-Action street series shocks in the rear with the Legend Axeo front end kit. Now my glide eats pot holes 4 breakfast..... No more front end dive when I hit the front brake. Now she rides smooth n steady

Nothing better
Ohlins makes a 25mm drop in no modification cartridge system. I can re-valve them or I make the tools necessary so you can do it yourself. I make a fork conversion which utilizes a pair of Ohlins 30 mm cartridges and modify your own 2014~current FLT or FXD 2006~current forks to install these fully adjustable (compression, rebound, and spring pre-load) cartridges and can provide up to 7" of stroke with the bike sitting at the exact same height. There is a big difference between anything currently available to this system. There is no comparison to any other product and there are many reviews from people who own them. Low volume, custom made, and much more expensive than the aforementioned product. Simply nothing better or even close.
