I like your videos but he was tailgating you because you pulled over into the left lane in front of him... Hammer lane is for hammering...
Please lose the rap.
All I listen to is rap and I agree. Lol
This right here should be your #1 comment on this video.
Agree!
Thrashin's triple tree has an option for a pullback in it as well.
This is the solution to getting the right riding position, no more reaching. I'm 6' 2" and these even helped me with comfort level on longer trips.
Nice video, terrible music choice...
Almost stop watching the video because of the music
Good description of the ride quality improvements. I had very similar results after I installed the Legends on my Ultra.
Bro speeds up the video on the twisty ride 😂😂😂 and the arm movement on the throttle is wild. 😂😂😂 cmon sammy or whatever your name is
Name is Sandy . Happy you enjoyed and commented. As long as you’re entertained- that’s good 💪🏻😅
Crazy how i jumped online to find them and then i saw the price and made a U turn😅 it’s more expensive than s&s cam chest kit.
Your impressions of the Wilbers seem pretty much spot on with mine.
I previously rode a 2014 Limited that I had: 1) stock air adjustable suspension; 2) 13 inch H-D hand adjustable Showa upgrade suspension with H-D Showa cartridge front; 3) custom built by Ohlins HD 159 model S36DR1L suspension with H-D Showa cartridge front;; 4) Wilbers Nivomat suspension. On that bike, without a doubt, the Ohlins suspension with H-D Showa cartridge front was the best handling, best riding suspension of the 4 combinations. That said, I was extremely impressed with the Wilbers suspension. It performed very nearly the same as the Ohlins set up but didn't require the 15 minute setup ritual to change from 1-up to 2-up riding settings of the Ohlins which definitely justified the expense of the Wilbers for me.
My '23 Low Rider ST has been upgraded from the stock rear suspension to the H-D Ohlins rear suspension instead of Wilbers because my ST will remain a 1-up bike. Since the Ohlins has an easily adjustable preload (along with all the additional adjustments) I firmly believe its' the right choice for my riding style/preferences.
I do plan to update the front end to the H-D Ohlins setup next season as funds & opportunity allows.
Thanks for the great channel & vids on your Low Rider ST.
Dave
Ohlins is the very best... there is a reason they are on a majority of the high-end sport bikes.
That's one whipp'n throttle arm! Go Go Go
Pretty convinced that most cruisers have garbage suspension. And you really don’t realize it till you change it. There are a few exceptions out there. My R18 is pretty dialed but my Triumph Speedmaster is pretty Meh. All my Harley’s were horrible.
The suspension on my Electra Glide is very easily adjusted. I just put air in, I let air out.😂😂
Did you
Ever adjust the suspension on your Electra guide standard?
That might be why you thought it was junk.
Sandy good solid review. Would you tell me the name/model of the helmet you use in this video? Thanks Stay safe
Shoei RF 1200 and also the Daytona 3/4 helmet from Amazon
Thank you sir. Keep up the good work
New suspension always equals happiness
You will be amazed by the twisties, the rear end will feel solid and planted. When you take it for a long distance ride, that's when you will really feel a huge difference.
Having GP put on my 22 FLXRS tomorrow, Nice review
Great content. What helment do u wear. When u are riding are u looking over your windshield or thru it. It looks like a tall windshield
Awesome video , I was wondering if you notice the new bags especially the right side bag get hot from the exhaust pipe?
Not heating up !
Had some jerk tailgate me the other day same thing, very interested in the Wilburs
Wonder how much kit is if you had to pay for it good got it free from sponsors ship nice vid
I appreciate that you showed the drop. Can happen to anyone.
Why didn’t you get a Road King Special throw on the ST fairing and do the same mods on a touring model..
I had one of the first Low Rider STs in the country. only a year later Advanblack came out with a fairing....
Sandy please tell me what kind of 3/4 helmet your wearing it's awesome
Check Amazon Daytona 3/4
It's so unusual to hear someone saying HD stock suspension is pretty good😁 I guess in Europe nobody would agree. Anyway, I recommend You scrapping these bloody tyres and swapping them to Metzelers or Avons. Than You'll see full performance of new suspension. These Scorchers mess up a bit there. They're better for a tractor.
I did some 10s on my road glide bc I’m short af (5’10” is short af these days I guess)
Same thing
Hunched over
Those 10” BAR AND RISER set ups .. perfect .. .. or 12-14” meathooks or whatever…. Way better
Sucks bc I don’t got the money to change it
I can deal wit the hunch but its not fantastic
Sucks when u can’t try something first .. either of those other setups way more comfy for me.
HADTA LAYERDOWN HOSS
GOBBLESS
get some saddle bag guards
We all drop it eventually
I put Wilber’s front and rear on my 22 street glide. Worth every penny. I probably wouldn’t have kept the bike otherwise.
Im trying to figure out what I want between Wilbers and Ohlins. 21 Low Rider S. I ride long distance. Not carving up the curves or dragging boards. I did Heritage boards and touring bags too.
Sandy, you're the ST Man. Looks like you've chosen well again. All you need now is some aux LED's on your tourpak & bags and better tires to complement your new bars & suspension.
Have a safe upcoming trip .
I'll live it vicariously through you.
The weight of honesty...
I feel your concerns and admire your honesty Sandy, thanks
Been looking into the Wilbers for my BMW R9T, definitely going to consider it now for my street glide.
A great time to add heated grips when you do your riser and bars and write it like you stole it and then hide it in the bushes hahaha
Glad your enjoying the new suspension, at least no damage on your bike after laying it down
That might be a 2018 - 2020 F150 with that style of DRL.
Awesome always enjoy watching ride safe and enjoy
old biker friend of mine said always carry ball bearings in your pocket.
Great review Sandy!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grey Ghost getting ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn wilbers caused him to drop the bike!
My dream suspension - appreciate the honest review
Seems like the Wilber's will do the trick for you on your cross country tour 👍
Wait... did you just laid your bike Sandy?
You can’t go wrong with Wilber’s. They are the best. I fully agree with your going to the taller risers too. I ended up trading my low rider st for a road glide, I was leaned forward with 6.5 inch thrashin risers and bars. Reminded me of my wide glide. Loved the bike for short runs and especially the weight, when I rode the road glide it felt as light as my low rider st and felt faster. Plus the seating position was much more comfortable. Something to think about ……
Ohlins > Wilbers
I was just looking into upgrading my '23 FXLRST. Glad I came across your channel!
Welcome aboard!
Good one, good explaining!
Sport orientated.
G’day Sandy, how is the comfort on rougher roads compared to stock? I have a crook back and trying to prolong my riding years and haven’t been able to find much on the Wilbers Nivomat comfort wise on the Soft Tails compared to stock. My last bike had Legend air shocks which were pretty good but more expensive than Wilber’s.
Suspension is better than stock- on all road conditions
That in the pickup could be charged with menacing if you got his plate, even without the plate, with a good identification. That was completely uncalled for. I wouldn't be surprised if a viewer finds that truck.
🤡
the price is a big zero there is a limit to madness pricing for one small shock.
Pretty easy to spend a lot more than that for a fully adjustable suspension like Ohlins. I've got over $3500 in my Big Bear Performance 29mm cartridges and Ohlins 14" rear mono-shock, could have spent more depending what combo I went with. And it's been one of the best modifications to the FXLRST. Suspension is one of the most important parts of a motorcycle, and stock just doesn't cut it.
@holyshift love the tunes sandy necer knew u were a OG!!
