Great review. The crappy suspension on my Street Glide Special is a key reason I don't enjoy taking that bike on road trips. I prefer my Road Glide Ultra which seems to ride a bit smoother. However, I've switched to 21" front 18" rear on the Road Glide and it rides a bit hard too, so I'm looking to change the suspension on both of my bikes. I will definitely look into Wilbers.That's a pretty neat graph that shows the difference in vibration before and after
Wrong, my last customer returned after 5 minutes testriding the Wilbers LDC. I was surprised too, but he said, he felt the huge improvement right away. Very good technical explanation, You should convert the fork springs as well-right now Your missing 30% of the Wilbers feeling... Safe rides!
We didn’t touch on the front but he does have the whole setup. He can definitely tell the difference from stock. Much much improved. Thanks for watching.
@@texasmotorcyclerideradventures Exactly, that's why I put them on my CVO Road Glide, right after picking it up at the dealership. That's how a Harley suspension should be in the first place.
it doesn’t exactly raise or lower but adjust to compensate for varying loads to bring back to a proper riding height. What happens is when you load it down, the bike will ride lower for a very brief distance then auto level itself out based on the travel of the shock. Likewise when a load is removed it will do the opposite and bring itself down some keeping the ride equal in handling and load bearing.
Hi guys nice video… i have a question i hope its nit too much to ask… how does it handle on twisty canyons level of support for an aggressive rider? Thank you
The person who told me about this did but the set. My set was on loan because we are doing many sets and don't have a budget to buy that many suspensions. One thing I have learned trying different suspensions is that there are many solutions and not everyone wants the same thing. These Wilbers shocks work really well for someone who rides single and 2-up often. They absorb the bad stuff and really handle well. I wish I could have kept them but I have another set I am testing now.
Im looking for a suspension upgrade on my rgs balance between comfort and performance i consider myself fairly aggressive and i enjoy twisty canyons but it also have to be comfy not a harsh ride… i hope i can get some help here thank you
So we ran those on fellow youtuber Texas Motorcycle Rider's bike which was a 2019 Street Glide Special. He has since sent those back to Wilbers since they were on loan for the video. He did like them and I agree with him that they serve a great purpose for those riding two up or changing various loads. However he doesn't change his setup often and mainly rides solo. He is on another brand of suspension that I believe he will be doing a review on. Overall he liked but since they were on loan he didn't keep them any longer than an initial 5k miles that he got to use them.
On my specific bike? I didn't run the wilbers on my bike since they only sent us one complete suspension from Wilbers. We decided that Scott would test and review this suspension and I progressive. I have a review coming up on that shortly.
This is the first time I have heard of this suspension. Checking them out now. Thanks for this video Paul! 👍👍
I wasn’t too aware either but they do have their benefits.

I do have the Wilbers front setup but we were just reviewing the rears. If you saw the Vibrameter at the end of the video.....huge difference!

Great pov video you sold me
The auto leveling is badass
I took my wife for a ride and was impressed. She loved the ride compared to stock as well.
Cool man
How this compare to Ohlins hd044, I wonder one of them
Good video.. wondering if the suspension raises or lowers the bike?

Have you ever used Legends? How does it compare?

Seen several reviews, nobody ever says if they would reach into their own pockets to pay for the very expensive suspension.

Hey Bobby hit me up on Instagram. @paulontherun_81
Does it compensate when you go from 2up to single rider?
Yes that's the beauty of the system. It compensates for load changes, if done one demo video to show that.
What say you after a few months on Wilbers?

What's the review on your setup, Paul.

@@PaulOnTheRun yes. Your bike. Ok
