Installed 13" Revo-A's on my 17 RGS about 6 months ago and finally got around to installing the Axeo standard height on the front today. Only took around 3 hours. Looking forward to hitting some twisty roads on Sunday.

The factory shocks have always felt clunky going over bumps. Much smoother ride now. Feels more stable at speed going through sweeping curves. Something I didn't realize is the standard height cartridges actually lower the front end 3/4 of an inch. According to Legend it has to do with the preset sag.

I installed the big 3 - the Feuling vented oil dipstick, breather bypass to a DK catch can and the primary vent tube. The primary tube install was a breeze, nothing I would pay the dealership $300 to do. Use the supplied template and it's hard to mess up, the hardest part was feeding the tube through the hole.

Removed my Factory 47 16” and went with the Kraus T-Bar set up with their top plate. 12” kick back risers

Got the Ohlins 044s dialed in for my long trip.
I have been trying to see which (if any) of my attempts to arrest the high speed tail wag is working.
I got the front DynaTrack stabilizer installed, went for a ride...no change.
Installed the Ohlins 044s in the rear, made a massive change in the ride of the bike, but wobble is still there above 80.
Next is the rear DynaTrack, and the new front forks
