Legends Revo-A shocks and Axeo forks. Tell me the good and the bad if you have them mounted on your Harley.

Axeo forks in the front. Really stiff when initially installed set at “2” pulled them and dialed them down to “zero” , now they’re quite plush, probably should of went with “1”.

I have a set of Legends Revo-A shocks arriving today and will mount on my 2018 RGS them asap. The problem that I have with "high shocks" is that I'm a "little light in the ***". In other words, I only weigh 140lbs. I've had the high-end Ohlins and Legend Air on my prior bikes, but once installed neither seemed any better than OEM. I was told by both Ohlins (Howard) and Legends that it might be because I'm too light. Prior to ordering the Revo-A I called Legends and explained my situation to the tech. They said that the Revo-A should do the trick.

I'll follow up this post once I have them mounted. Though it is kinda cold here in the Northeast for a test ride.

I just installed my new REVO - A and went for a test ride. Once again my ride quality is suffering due to my skinny ***. I just got off phone with Legends and they offered to install a 90 pound spring in place of the 110. I held off with that option because I was able to loosen the springs all the way down to a 1/2 inch of threads which may do the trick.

the 90lb spring makes a big difference, are you running the 12” or 13”? You don’t want to compromise shock travel by adjusting them to far down

Im running the same, but with the 90lb spring. The sag should be set at 1/2” to get the best ride
