I put Legend stuff front and rear on my 19 EGS when it had 3,000 miles on it. Suspension is one of the better upgrades you can do on a Harley in my opinion.

I have Progressive 422 RAP shocks and the Monotube cartridges on my 02 Fat Boy. I haven't had to deal with any warranty issues, but I have been very happy with them both. Huge improvement over stock.

I installed progressive fork springs on it several years ago and it made a difference. I wanted to go with the cartridges but I’m too cheap to spend the money. I have been looking at the 422s but haven’t really had the time to do anything to it. I bought new handlebars in August for my RGU and they’re still in the box. That’s going to change soon since I’m retiring for the second time next week.
