Put a set of these on my bike about 3 wks ago and cannot believe the ride improvement on my new bike. In fact the ride on the rear is so much improved that now the front feels like ****, literally. So when I have time the kit Howard sells will be added to the front end,If my primary riding purpose was bar to bar the stock pieces would be fine. Wife an I actually tour when possible. The Ohlins in my opinion are the smart set up. Not cheap but most times you get what you pay for. Hope this helps.

Just installed Legend AXEO front end suspension and Legend Revo 13 inch shocks on my ultra limited. Very happy. Bike does not have the front end dive like before. The bike feels firmer while feeling smoother. More controlled on rough roads. Legend is 100% American made, comes with lifetime warranty.

I just found a set of 13" Heavy Duty Progressive 944s online for $350.00 shipped that came off of an 09 RG. Progressive says they will fit my 2014 SG. I'm 280 - 290 lbs. and my GF is about 150lbs. I'm hoping they will work. They are being shipped out today so I do not have them yet. What should I expect? How will the ride be different?

Don't have the money to try everything, but reviews show the Revo A to be a contender. A little plusher than Pro or Howard's, enough that it's really got me straddling the fence...

While I am sure all the premium shocks on the market deliver a great ride; you will be completely satisfied with your choice of the Legend Revo A's.

I just had the Legend AXEO front end kit and Revo shocks installed on my 14 Limited. The upgrades transformed my bike. Considering how happy I am with the Revo's, I'm sure the Revo A's are even better.
