Default Legend Shocks on Amazon

The RGU is still in the shop. Going on 4 weeks now for a water pump, temp sensor, fan and compensator, all under the Harley ESP.
I read a few threads on here about the Legend shocks and did some more reading on line and watching the videos. I'm impressed, so I look at the pricing on the Legend web site. Got advice from their tech support then decided to check Amazon to see what they charge for the same item number. $50 dollars less for the front and rear systems and free shipping. Saved over $80 through Amazon and I get the cash back bonus as well. 5% I think.
Should be here next week sometime. Hopefully, I'll have the bike back by then.
This really sucks. I'm retired now so I can ride more. Went on one trip this season and the bike craps itself. I have a ride planned to go to Detroit the last weekend of April. This is cutting it close.

That’s great that you were able to save some money and I know you’ll love those shocks and forks. I know I do.

Its too bad you already ordered them. I was gonna recommend HogPros. They could have saved you about twice that much.

SS Custom Cycles would have saved you more too. I paid 780 shipped for my revo-a’s

Hogpro always gets me a good deal. Just call Rob and tell him what you're looking for.

I wish I had put the Legend Axeo cartridges and Revo A's on the day I bought the bike. The bike handles so much better now, especially riding two up.

The rear shocks arrived yesterday. I installed them, adjusted them and then went out for about 120 mile ride. Real nice.
The fork cartridges arrived today. I began the installation but ran into a wall with the right fork. I didn't have a long enough 7/16" hex wrench to reach the brass screw. I had to order one through NAPA which will be here tomorrow.
I finished the install on the left fork and installed it. Pretty easy job.
I'll be hitting the road for Detroit on Thursday morning so this needs to be finished tomorrow for a test ride.

Good deal. Let us know what you think when you get back from Detroit.

As I posted in another current thread, new front doesn't seem like a major improvement as others have posted. I can tell a difference in the rear shocks.
Forcast for Deyroit area is rain and in the 30s in mornings. Think I'll take the truck.

Front upgrades improve handling and rear improves comfort.
