You should have done your homework first. Theres plenty of complaints about the harsh ride, Same goes for the Legend (here come the bashes). I went with a heavy duty Screaming Eagle fork oil change as recommended by my dealer mechanic. He said they it for the $24 in oil first. My bike now is totally new ride. No front end dive, handles great on turns, and total investment was $24.00 plus a couple hours of my time.

I read this before and questioned my Indy about it, he said it would help very little if any. I'm going to have the fluid changed and see for myself. Thanks for sharing your findings.
