In case you are considering the Revo-A’s for the back, the 13” is the way to go. Legend uses a softer spring so you will be able to set the sag to whatever your ride height is now (assuming that is what you want) but have the travel of the 13” shocks. I emailed Legend before purchasing both the rear and front suspensions, and they were very responsive and helpful in recommending the appropriate setup for each.

Thanks
Complete difference in ride. The mono's were harsh , so harsh I went ahead and bought the axeo's and am totally satisfied.

Just had them installed on my '14 Limited. Have to say so far it has been probably the best change I have made to the bike. It handles so much better, even like it better than the suspension upgrades on the '17s. Now there is no reason to trade it in. I definitely like the ability to adjust the rears with a turn of a **** of each shock. Found the best deal with both price and installation at my dealer, Harley Davidson of Greenville, SC.

Thanks for all the replies. Talked to local dealer today. They had a special running of FREE labor on any accessories bought thru today. So I bought the Legend Axeo today and should have them installed in the next few weeks, they had to be ordered. Now it is time to save for the Revo A’s.

Great money spent on both items - I'm running and love them both - I did my own install - pretty simple
