Greetings,

I have a 2022 RG 107 with cams, and I'd like to improve the fork.

I currently have the Traxxion AR-25 fork kit in the bike, and use Ohlins HD 044 shocks for the rear. While way better than stock with reducing fork dive and feeling planted, the Traxxion AR-25 kit still doesn't get me to the plushness I'm looking for. As a cheap way out, I'm thinking of going to a lighter oil. I believe the kit was installed with 7wt, but it's been a few years now. The "all in" option is a cartridge setup.

So.....some questions!

Does anyone run a fork cap preload adjuster, and for a '22 RG are you able to get to the adjuster reasonably well, considering the handlebar sits just above the fork cap?
Does anyone have the Traxxion AR-25 kit, and did you futz with oil weights and what not? Were you able to really dial it in?

Regarding cartridges....
I'm considering either Bitubo or Ohlins, but open to other options. Curious if anyone has experience with these, and what are your thoughts? I'm looking for preload, rebound and compression adjustability
Has anyone gone from either the Traxxion AR-25 or ProAction fork kit to a cartridge setup and did you find it worth it?
Is there a cartridge kit that's recommended based on ease of getting to the adjusters? The handlebar sits just above and very close to the fork caps. Any good work arounds to get to the clickers?

Greatly appreciated!

 

This product is new from Legend Suspensions. A "comfort" version of their Axeo line.

I bought the at the time "regular" ones which now are the "performance" ones.
I would like to try them out.
Has anyone tried them?

 

I have Legends front and rear on my current and a few past bikes and cant say enough good things about the product suite.

Consider the Wilbur’s front springs… I had the Traxxion Dynamics suspension (I live less than 2 miles from their facility in Woodstock) on my previous Street Glide and I can say the Wilbur’s springs are a great improvement and don’t cost a fortune
Check out Robert Simmons Videos on YouTube where he videos the front springs in action on a cobblestone street…

We have a great report put together on all the Front Suspension Testing we have done over the years that some may find helpful.

As listed in Part II of the report, we highlighted in Green the set-ups that are the best performance for $ spent.

Due to the Intiminators producing just as good a result, and are much easier to install, we prefer them.

I have the Intiminators Shown above. They prevent braking nosedive and eat up bumps and cracks in the road like they aren’t even there. You don’t have to trim your shim tubes “if you have strong arms to get your caps back into the tops of your tubes”. I was able to do it myself.
