Has anybody seen this swing arm for the m8? I saw a video Kruesi originals put up on youtube and the way Ryan describes the m8 suspension vs the dyna suspension makes perfect sense. Here is the swingarm kit they sell. Thoughts?
Seems like a cool idea but I see it for someone whos looking to track their bike. Mines built for fast and long distance rides, not for the track. Cool idea nonetheless
I wouldn't trade the mono shock system on my 18 Heritage for 10 of them. I have had a lot of Harleys to include a Dyna and the new softail suspension is the best I have ever had. You would have to be crazy to swap it out.

Definitely .
That is kit such a stupid fking idea !
I saw that video on YouTube. His description of the Softails swing arm movement in relation to it's shock absorber was incorrect. The rear of the swing arm doesn't move straight up and down as he described it. It moves in an arc, just like any other swing arm, maintaining the shock to swing arm angle.
Besides, how could this
Be a more rigid structure than this? That rigidity is what helps the new Softail's to handle so well.

Absolutely agree. Also had many Harleys from tourers to softails to sporties (XR's) and my Low Rider S is the best out of the showroom handling Harley I have had.
