Default Revo A question

So I was looking at getting some revo a shocks, I want something easier to adjust when I’m solo then go two up. Someone told me to change just rebound but when I watched a video on YouTube it says you have to change the spring settings to set sag with two up. I’m just wanting something easier without removing the bags all the time. It’s on a 2014 street glide.

Sounds like air ride is what you're after then.

No, in order to change for a higher weight capacity the spring tension must be adjusted for a sag of 1 inch solo and two up.
With me and my wife I have to adjust the RevoA's by rotating the springs 6 revolutions from my solo adjusted position to achieve a 1 inch sag. She weighs about 150 pluss the loaded saddle bags. My RevoA's have the heavy duty spring's

Adjustments of the springs are not really a big deal. Takes 5 minutes, two to find the bottle opener, one to figure out which beer to drink, and one minute to adjust the springs.

Wilbers Nivomat Suspension. Once set, you'll never need to adjust for one up/two up riding. And your wife will love the new ride.
