Default Legend Axeo and AIM light force

My scoot came back from the Indy today, she’s now sporting the axeo up front (revo-a in back) and the light force actuator.

I think these were the best investments I’ve made to this day. The suspension is an absolute game changer. Feels like it’s on rails when going into a corner.

The light force is tops also! I can pull the clutch with 1 finger. The engagement is just off the bar; well a little out but so much better than the stock setup. It works so well that I actually put a stock (chrome) lever back on instead of the Oberon adjustable lever.

I wish I had done these mods sooner, they really are superb

That is good to hear about AIM. Ordered mine yesterday.

I did, swapped for the revo-a. Ohlins seemed a little harsh, couldn’t really get them dialed in for me

That's why I'd like to give this a try. go back to stock levers. closer engagement, wider friction zone.
I can pull a strong arm [fore-arm??] clutch, as I had a Rivera Primo w/ Gold in the 120R, but the fact the stock is too far out for the short fingers...

Oberon did ok, but I'd rather the $300 back [Did clutch and brake to match].

If I like the mod and the stock levers, I'll sell the levers I suppose.

Have you ever run the progressive monotubes? I'm guessing the increased price brings increased performance. I've not had the Legend Axeo.
enjoy!

You won’t be disappointed with the light force. I can literally pull the clutch with one finger, friction zone catches real fast. Clutch action is much smoother than my 01 deuce, the deuce actually feels hard to pull now lol

+1 I had the same issue with my Ohlins on my 14 Ultra. I'm now running the REVO-A on my 2018 RGS

Shocks are like shoes....not one size fits all. Look up “suspended by smarty” for the real deal on suspension
