My Road Glide ST had dealer installed HD Ohlins in the rear. Im having some work done in the spring and I'm going with the Ohlin NIX 22 cartridges in the front. If they're as good as the rear setup, I'll be one happy camper.

I have the Ohlin HD772’s on the rear, adjusted out to 13-1/2” length, and the Ohlins Nix22 FKS 226 fork cartridge kit getting installed as i write this - as noted previously, the only way to make external adjustments to the fork cartridges once installed will be to loosen and lower the forks in the triple-tree OR, remove the fork legs.

I am really looking forward to the improved ride - pick the bike up this Friday.

I don't have any direct experience with Wilburs suspension components, but I have read several reviews, and watched a few install videos where riders provided feedback, and I have not seen nor heard anything but positive feedback.

Good Luck

Take a look on YouTube at Million Dollar Bogan. His videos are amazing and he uses Wilbur's suspension. He has beat that Road King to death off road and on the worst roads possible.
