Bitubo and base Ohlins are mid to upper $600 range. I have just under $1000 with base Ohlins and progressive cartridges on my 07 flhtc. Well worth the money. I like Ohlins better than Bitubo just because of the Racing history. I don’t think Bitubo is junk or nothing like that but I just think more of Ohlins.

I replaced the stock air shocks on my 2014 Ultra Limited with take off Harley Davidson premium hand adjustable shocks from a newer Ultra Limited and couldn't be happier. Wish I would have done it sooner. Much better ride in my opinion.

So to follow up, while in Sturgis, before all the crowds arrived, I went down to the Legend factory. Since I was at Hog Heaven Campground it was just down the road. I went with a friend I met there from Arkansas who has Legends. I purchased the rear shocks, had them all set for sag by the installers at the factory. They take all the info to set up the best ride for you. I rode off and said to myself "Wow what a difference from the stock airs". I tried every air pressure setting on the ride out to Sturgis and could not get anything to stop the spine smashing on some road heaves and bumps. The Legend folks explained why it was happening. Convinced me so I was sold and had them installed. After riding all day the front became very noticeable especially in the turns. I went back next day and got the fronts installed. That was the ticket. Made riding spearfish, vanocker, etc all the better. I could hold the line in the turns and shift without bobbing the front end or losing the line. I was hauling in the turns like I could never before and the bike was just solid. My bike weighs 900 lbs. so thats a big thing. The ride home from Sturgis was a dream compared to the ride out. Cant wait to head back to Tennessee to hit the Snake, Moonshiner and Dragon etc with this setup. Its like having a new bike but better. This was the best money I have spent on my bike. Thanks for all the recommendations and tips and I highly recommend Legend Suspension. (lifetime warranty also) Jeff

Glad you made the leap to Legends
I have the Revo A's as well.
Prior to the Revo A's I had the 944 progressive shocks on the rear, had them for a couple of years.
The difference of the Revo A's to the 944's are like night and day.
Made in the USA too.
Like you, I liked them so much I had the Axeo's installed in the front forks. Legend Suspension has turned my bike into a better motorcycle. It's like I'm riding on a rail in the turns, great handling abilities.

I am leaving for The Finger Lakes tomorrow with the trike and one thing I am glad about is having put the Pro Action 14” with comfort lift from DK on it. What a difference.
You will have so much better experience from now on.
