Hey Stefan, your English is very good, your instructions are calm and articulate,
better than most I've seen, I just installed the Wilbers front springs on my 2020
Road King, I applied your fork sag measurements and they're within specs,
apparently I did the install correctly, so that's good to know,
thanks for those informative videos.
Always at your service 😉
You will love the new fork!
👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good info thank you.
You are welcome, thanks for watching
Good troubleshooting 👍
Thank you, that was a tough one
Great video again Stefan - do you have any suggestions for telling my local dealer how to install Wilbers? I'm betting it will be their first time here in Dallas.
For which specific model? Send me an email info@stefans-garage.com
Excellent troubleshooting! Interested in the model IWC Pilot you have, is it Ceratanium? - looks fab.
Thank you. It’s no IWC, but a Steinhardt watch. Small company from Augsburg Germany, selling directly from the factory.
@@stefansgarage3014 thanks for this I’ll check them out
👍👍👌🏍️👋👋✌️🖖
Hello Stefan
I was wondering what your thoughts are on one inch lowering with the wilbers Nivomat shocks
Well, if you want to ruin the ride...Ride comfort and precision come with suspension travel, if you lower it you limit the travel and impair the ride. If you have a shorter inseam, the Wilbers shocks are taller, but have more rider sag. So the total increase in seat height is around 1 cm 1/4in, I just installed one for a shorter rider on a Road King Special.
I’m convinced to go with Wilbers but, I’m having a hard time finding a shop in Northern Cal (Bay Area) that does installs. Any ideas. Also, I have a 2018 CVO Road Glide with the 21” wheel. Thank you and if you know of any local shops that does
install Wilbers, please let me know.
Hi Ron, I love the Wilbers on my 2019 CVO Road Glide. Did You check out my install video especially for our CVO RGs? I was flying into SFO, three weeks ago...
Any motorcycle tech can do the install, if you send me an email, I will provide you with the key points for the correct install (especially for professional installers)

Hi Stefan. Might sound like a stupid question, but...Whatever...I have Wilbers stuff in my Softail FXLRS. In the warranty card, where the factory setting is written, it stands the preload is 22 mm. Is it measured from the top od threaded area to the top of the spring? Or to the top of the couter hook nut?
Hi Björn, it's probably a conventional 540 or 640 shock and no Nivomat. As far as I know, it's just a documentation of the factory setting, you need to check and adjust the rider sag with the spanner wrench to obtain around 3-4cm rider sag (check the instructions for that). It should be the whole thread length that is compressing the spring, so top of the threaded area to top of the spring. But as I said, you have to fine-tune it on the bike.
@@stefansgarage3014 Thanks a lot! Yes, it's 640. Sure, but don't have tools for sag adjustment so it's testing. Worst thing is that my woman loves riding with me. And each time i have to adjust preload with a hook wrench. Pain in the ass. But sure the hardware is really cool. Made the bike as it should be. Stock is like American beer. They call it a beer, looks like beer, but...what do they know about beer😁
@@bjoernrider6164 Honestly, get the new self leveling Nivomat. No messing around with the preload anymore, especially when you’re riding one and two up.
