Revo suspension achieves a softer, more compliant ride due to softer spring rates. The REVO-A coil shock system is Legend's take on isolating a bike from road shocks using a conventional coil spring and shock absorber, with an upgrade over the standard REVO shock. Highly recommend.Legend Suspension Revo-A Coil Shocks For Harley Touring For $850 bucks (after internet price matching) I think these are a great shock. I was around 80% happy with initial setup but now I feel like I've gotten similar to others that think their shocks truly transformed their ride quality. But for me these did change after settling in for about 1000 miles and I did have to be very careful w/ the sag to get the best out of them. So if anyone has questions you're welcome to PM me, or post. For comparison purposes for anyone else trying these I've not got my sag set at 14 threads, I'm at 180 lbs, wife at 135 - and this time I checked my sag by putting my bags back on for each check since I figure they add another 40 lbs or so. So I'm very happy to finally be in the WOW category. Very stable and just seem to take out 98% of the "road rumble" while cruising and handles big bumps with dignity. Now that I've got it set more precisely - my single rider sag is right at 1/2 inch - the ride is absolutely great. Most of the time previously it was fine, but occasionally it was still rough. I think the needle valve construction - as Russ said - is very sensitive is correct. They are GREAT compared to stock and really now significantly better than my first impressions which were good. Long story short - I'm thrilled with these. And a few partial twists of the shock made a difference. Probably took me a half dozen attempts before it was right. so basically I'd set, ride about 8 or 10 miles, check and re-set. So, I re-set them and found after riding a few miles they had changed. And in talking with Russ, due to the design of these the sag is more critical than most other shocks. I'm not a top 10 wrench in the world, but found out that I probably really wasn't getting my sag set well enough. ![]() I've been happy with these but still felt things that left me feeling I was short of the "cushy" ride that some others said they got with these. I've got over 1000 miles easily on these now and decided to re-set my sag again, taking my time and doing it right. So far I'm VERY happy with them, but will update after more miles.Ĭlick to expand.What good timing! I was just going to update. And I didn't pay any installation - very easy to do if you have a jack you trust. I got the $850 price by them price matching an internet cost. And I can say I do see a clear difference w/ the adjustability, and it's very very easy to adjust them. Definitely makes me want to improve the front end now. Then I think we still feel bumps in our cars, and my wife's SUV is a luxury model, so I think expecting to feel nothing on a significant bump is a pipe dream. There are times I hit bumps I feel w/ the front and don't feel w/ the back, and I've hit some bumps where I say "crap, I still felt that". I can definitely tell an improvement right from leaving the driveway, but I really want to get more miles on. Ranged from totally backed out "soft" to a couple of clicks. I did about a 75 mile loop into the mountains a week ago playing w/ the settings. The weather has been iffy, so haven't had a chance to ride 2 up yet, which is what I'm most interested to see. I'll definitely give an update after I've ridden enough to have a meaningful opinion. ![]() You could also use a plastic zip tie and achieve the same results.įrick'n ay! All this talk about putzin' on the bike and all I can do is look at the snow on the ground and single digit temps. Now go for a ride and then observe how far back up the bumper traveled. Not hard to do, just easier than with fat fingers. I had to use a flat screw driver to walk it down the shaft as it is pretty snug. Here's a helpful tip: You can use the rubber bumper on the piston shaft as an indicator to see how much of the travel is being used. These shocks seem to be pretty forgiving with there anti bottoming technology. Now I just leave the spring set for 2 up and adjust the compression clicker when solo. We set the sag for two up with help from a third person measuring and adjusted the springs for 3/4" sag. Didn't need much tweaking for solo, and then just set the clicker up a couple to my liking. I have the heavy springs and they came with the spring threaded back completely. When we are doubled up and loaded for touring we're talking 430# ish. Do you mind saying what weights you're set for? I'll definitely be playing w/ the settings a bit. ![]() I think they were going to set two clicks in. I'm still set as they set it for our weight. I just did a 20 mile loop and all still good.
