Going to pull the trigger today and order Legends Axeo front fork cartridges. Two years ago I put 10" monkey bars on my bike, I love the bars but after installing the polyurethane bushings I feel every little jolt in the road. Hoping this will help with smoothing out the front end. I already have 2-2bs on the rear, and while I'm not all that impressed with them they are a lot better than the stock shocks that came on the bike. Anybody else running the Axeo, what can I expect from this set up?

 

I just got done installing the Axeo front cartridges, unfortunately still getting snow and plenty of salt on the roads, plus I'm having the inner, outer fairings and new fender painted. I'm anxious to see what improvement I will get with this mod, I have ohlins on the back and the front needed some type of upgrade and from all the reading I did this seemed to be the best without getting into a $2K or so upgrade.

Will probably know in 3-4 weeks as the weather gets better

 

I have had mine in since early 2016, I love them . No more bottoming out riding two up under hard braking, front end dive is minimal. Mine eat the bumps up pretty good. Easy install if you've done any Harley front ends. Set mine up for two up touring most of the time.

 

I had the progressive mono's in mine and although they stopped the nose dive they were too harsh for me so I put in the Axeo 1 inch lower mono's . That combined with my MM ohlins I have the ride I wanted.
Highly recommend both products

 

You guys that have the Axeo set up, what preload did you go with? I mean how many turns did you give the spring tension. I talked with them and they told me they only use the riders weight, not the total weight of both rider and passenger. So at 190lbs. I should leave it at zero which they said was the factory setting. Does that sound right to you guys?

 

I'll be interested to see what folks say, I set mine to 1 turn. I weigh 190 also but figured when 2 up we will be at 300. So figured I should set it for 1 turn that covers both for the most part.

The instructions say Rider(s) weight plus luggage, so that implies passenger also

 

Do what they say, I found this out after I had it installed (at dealer) in my RK at one turn. Could not compress the forks down even if I stood on the handlebars. I called and told them this and they sent me a complete new set. They even worked out a deal with the dealer so they were installed for free. Now they are set at zero, it is much better ride and I weigh 250#'s.

 

I did one turn and that is what the chart said. Third bike with them and they are perfect.

 

Did you set it for just your weight or you and a passenger?

 

On this one I set just my weight ,I wanted a softer ride. But remember I'm running a 21 Ko kit.My last bike 16 RG CVO I put total weight rider passenger
two turns.
