Default 49mm Intiminator (any idea on such product)

This product is designed for 2006 & up dyna models.

http://store.ricorshocks.com/category_s/63.htm

Their description:
Patented Inertia Active Dampening for Damper Rod Front Forks

This is the only front fork on the market that knows if the wheel is trying to move or if the chassis is trying to move, resulting in a more stable chassis and a faster wheel response over bumps. It will give you a safer, more comfortable, better performing ride.

The INTIMINATOR sits on top of your stock damper rod forcing the oil through high quality deflected discs found in top of the line shock absorbers. When the front tire hits a bump then the inertia of that bump opens the inertia valve instantly allowing for a faster response. Installation is easy: Drain the fork oil, remove the spring, drop in the Intiminator, add oil then the spring and away you go. Sold in pairs.

Ride Adjustment: If you ride hard you will need TWO quarts of 15w Belray fork oil. Safe and sane you will need TWO quarts of 10w Amsoil fork oil. This only applies to the 49mm forks. All other Harley-Davidson Models require 5w Amsoil.

30 day money back guarantee.

Made in the USA at our manufacturing facility to ensure optimal control over product quality.

Has anyone here tried this product, any thoughts/inputs on this?

I run them in my sporty and my softail. I'll never have a bike without them again! I read that they recently dropped the prices too!

The Intimidators are an inexpensive suspension upgrade with results you can feel immediately. I'm happy with mine.

I have them with the Amsoil 10wt and stock springs. No need to change the springs, no need to remove the forks. I just did what Brian at Ricor recommended and sucked the old oil out.

At the same time I had Brian set me up with the sport tuned Ricor shocks, just as he did on his personal Dyna, all 13-1/2 inches of them.

Now potholes, rough roads and R/R tracks don't slow me down and I can ride a lot longer with no numb butt. The handling and cornering is excellent.

I can vouch for the shocks. I've got sport-tuned 13.5" shocks too. Pretty awesome. Worked great on my bagger too when I had them on (different tune). I've got a 49mm set for the front to install, but haven't done so yet. Got the motor torn apart at the moment...

Got the 41mm in my Street Glide. Ride might be a bit stiff, but the front end works pretty well. Definitely reduced brake dive, and the front wheel does maintain better contact with the ground. ABS doesn't kick in nearly as much.
