Default 2 up Revo Thoughts

So, for the first time, I rode 2 up since changing the back shocks to Revo. I bought the heavy duty for my 2019 SGS, as I run about 270 pounds. It rides way better than stock, yet still firm, even opened all the way up to get almost to 1" sag. I threw my 15 year old daughter on the back this weekend, and it turned into a Cadillac. Man, it just ate up the bumps. Super smooth! I say this because I probably should have gone with standard duty since most of riding is solo, but for those two up folks...you are in luck with the Revos.

A note on Legend's website says "Heavy Duty applications are recommended for 500 lb+ rider and passenger total weight".

So yes, you could have easily got by with the standard duty shocks.

In hindsight I should have. When I bought them, my wife wasn't riding. By the time I got them, she took the class at a local dealer and started riding an 04 Fatboy we have sitting around. Either way, they are great and well built.

Did you buy them directly from Legend? If you did they might be willing to exchange them for you. They have great customer service. I would give them a call all they can say is no.

Yes, they are a great product I love the way they ride both solo and 2 up.

No I bought from RevZilla, but I'll call them to check.
