I see your from Brunswick, I'm from Burton. Who did your install?

 

You're not far from Pro Action. Why don't you take a ride over and talk to George. I have their rears. I haven't done the front on the 17 yet. I did mono tubes in the 10 King and while not the best they are certainly better than stock by quite a bit. I have looked at the Legends. They seem to get mixed reviews. Ohlins would be at the top seeing that their isn't much competition for the front end.

 

What preload settings did you guys use on the Legend Axeo's and how much weight you running?
I used the chart and set it up for 2-up riding (2 turns) and it seems to stiff, thinking about taking them back out and adjusting them down to 1 turn.

 

 

 

Thanks to all for the input. I talked to Ohlins USA they said the FKC101 is a drop in with no adjustment--- kinda like a one size fits all? I want to stay in the $750 without labor range--- Pro Action is leaving for Sturgis on the 29th and are closed on Fridays and weekends.... they have a new dampening rod and spring setup for $550 installed ride in service. They'll be back on the 15th of August so I think I'll go that route.I'm really happy with the rear shocks & DJ said they'll do the forks and adjust till I'm happy--- that's hard to beat that.

 

10RK had the Mono's in ft. and found the ride way to hard. Installed Axeo's and they are perfect for me.

 

Check out GP Suspension for front .. They are adjustable...I'm very happy with set up on my 15 ultra limited

 

The FKC101 is not quite a one size fits all, as there are several different spring rates available, they come as a set of cartridges plus a pair of springs. Howard Messner of Motorcycle Metal is an Ohlins dealer and supplies to HDF members at discounted prices - give him a call. I can't say if he will meet your target, but it is worth a call.

 

I just ordered the GP 25MM kit from Howard.
