Zero wobble , there were no fitment issues , I did reroute my clutch cable but that was easy

 

Not sure , I never checked into the inverted set up

 

Howard's set up will way out perform a 2014. The forks are the same but he has 30mm fully adjustable cartridges inside , 14's still have dampening rods , also his triple trees are more solid than the 14 triple trees

 

It sounds like a great handling and comfortable set-up but for most of us the cost probably would not be worth how we ride our bikes and the amount of miles we put on yearly. I personally would buy a '14 with the bigger folks before putting $1000's into my current bikes front end which with Race Tech Springs and the modded Intimidators perform 100% better then the stock set-up.

I've bought two sets of shocks and an HID light kit off of Howard, so this is not meant to bash him or his products.........just expressing my feelings.....

 

I figure that this new front end will hover around the $2000-$2500 mark when all said and done...This can be a substantual cost for most of us and have no idea other then just word of mouth as to how it actually feels at this time...
So please bear with me as I have a few questions
Some/most of the questions I ask is with the various front end improvements I have made and removed or still have at this time such as the Progressive mono tube system and the R/T front end along with the intimidators...
So I ask can you elaborate a bit more on the handling please
Some questions I have are as follows with no particular order:
How’s the diving now?
You expressed your feeling with the ride quality but what about the wheel hop?
The stock suspension has a lot of wheel hop perhaps unbeknown to most, how has it improved?
What about buffeting you get from turbulence around the fairing when passing big boxy vehicles how's the stability? is it rock solid or is there a joint there that transferrs through out the bike?
Slow speed maneuvering how has it improved? Specifically tight radius low speed turns or u-turns? Both unloaded and loaded…like the Ohlins rear shocks need adjustment going from one rider to 2 up and more when the bags are loaded does the front end need this adjustment as well?
How’s the braking? shorter or longer
Did you notice that when you were going into turns that you had to find new lines to follow? Since the front end is tighter?
The compression and rebound? Compression in one fork and rebound in the other or both forks capabile of both adjustments?
I have noticed that the interstate is much improved as far as handling goes but for me where the various afore front ends fail to really shine is the back roads the lesser maintained roads where the earth has changed the roads since the first paving and we have so much irregularitys in road conditions that the conventional front end is lacking...
I'm sure there may be more to follow but if you would enlighten me
Thanks paul

 

The diving is basically eliminated , I get no wheel hop , you have extra travel which eliminates hop and improves traction , turbulence stability is good , I was riding 80mph in 15-20mph cross winds on the interstate and the bike was rock solid , slow speed maneuverability I didn't notice a difference , the front end does not need adjustment like the rear end 1up , 2up and loaded , I noticed no difference in braking distance but better control under hard braking , going into turns I did not have to find new lines it just stayed where I put it and did not drift , compression is on the left fork , rebound on the right fork , this front end shines on interstate or less maintained roads , it really doesn't matter , it is super smooth with improved traction

 

Do you feel as though you need the True-Track with your new forks?

 

I'm not sure , I already had the True-Track on and have not ridden it with it off so all I can say is that it is a huge improvement over what I had , the True-Track when I installed it helped with my rear end getting loose , I never noticed much change up front

 

My 2014 street glide now has a set of Howard's reworked Ohlins NIX30 cartridges installed in my stock 49mm forks. I installed a set of HD909 shocks late last year, but now, with the Ohlins cartridges. WOW!! The communication through this suspension is astounding. I feel every bump but zero sharpness. These 49mm legs are what inspired me to work with Howard to do this conversion. I'm still a bit speechless. Subtle seems to be the most accurate description I can find so far. The 49mm HD legs track so nice, but, now with four Ohlins.....
