2014 CVO Road King Forks
Hey folks, seeking your vast wisdom and technical guidance for the following:
I plan to upgrade the front forks of my 2014 CVO RK with either upgraded cartridges or dampers/springs (the cheaper option) but want to ensure proper fitment before ordering.
The fitment charts on Amazon, E-Bay (and other Sellers) for Legends Axeos and Progressive Monotubes, indicate those kits don't fit the 2014 CVO RK (but they do fit all of the other 2014 FLH Touring models).
Maybe it's the 19" vs 17" wheel size difference between the FLHRSE6 and FLHR that make the kits incompatible?
At any rate, I'm having a hard time determining which kits will actually fit. Surely there's a material solution out there...
Any clarity and recommendations would be welcome. Thanks!

Go to the Legends Suspension Website and fill out the Suspension Recommendation Form and they will let you know the correct cartridge for your front end.

Update: I purchased the Pro Action 49mm fork kit and am in the middle of the installation. The right fork is finished, now I'm working on the left fork. "Discovered" the left OEM fork has a cartridge in it, so I had to purchase a few OEM parts to complete the installation: i.e. fork bolt (for top of the fork), a rebound spring and the oil lock piece (the "cup" that the damper rod bolts into). The Pro Action tech support has been great. Will update again, once the parts arrive and installation is complete. Attached pic of front fork assembly, that shows difference between the right and left fork, and the reason I needed to buy the OEM parts.

Also embedded a pic of the old OEM fork parts in a box - you can see the OEM springs are way different than the Pro Action springs.
