Check out the Legend AXEO front end kit. It's Adjustable. You set them to your weight. 100% American made and come with a Lifetime warranty.

I recently installed on my Ultra Limited and love the results. Check out there web site, they have full details on how they work along with reviews from Harley shop professionals.

Are there other good front end kits? I'm sure there are. For me, the fact that they are all American made with a lifetime warranty combined with the research showing how well they work led me to buy them. What ever you buy, buy a quality product. Too much labor ( approx 2 hours ) to install anything less than the best system you can afford. IMHO

And others have $600 extra dollars to spend on something else.. I'm going to buy the Ohlins for the rear as they are reasonably priced compared to the competition.. the fronts are just too much in my opinion. Maybe worth it.. 3x worth it? Not sure. Either way, to each their own.

Picked up the monotubes for 150 shipped so they ought to be a good enough improvement for the cost. Just need to figure out how many clips to put in.
