Default Another Shock Option

Has anyone heard of Legend Suspension? I talked with a rep yesterday at Clowntown Cycles in Peru, In. He seemed knowlegable and answered all my questions. He explained how their shocks work and exactly what they do. They also had a demo bike with the front tubes and rear shocks done. The owner of Clowntown, Mike, rode the demo bike and said the difference was night and day. He has had several back surgery's and has lots of metal in his back. With his custom ride and saying this one is a big difference, I'd listen to his rewiew. You can adjust not only the coil over spring pre load but you can also change the rebound and ride how you want to ride. Mike said with the price of the tubes, shocks and install out the door for about 1900.00
They are made in the uSA and have a lifetime warranty. And price is a bit cheaper than Progressive Shocks.

They look like a nice shock and I have heard decent things about them but they are almost double in price compared to a 444 progressive if you shop the Internet.

One of the local HD dealers sell Legend rear shocks and has a 100% money back guarantee. If you don't like them, they take them back. I thought that was pretty impressive deal from an HD dealer.

I haven't bought any yet.
