Great suspension..I have the rears..and can't wait to be able to get the fronts soon. If I had one comment on the video it would be that I wish you had not stopped when you did. The install is not complete until the shocks have been initially adjusted for the rider. How about a follow up video showing that process??
Thanks for the comments. Yes we can think about showing the setting of the sag and how that all works. You’ll love the bike even more with the fronts whenever that time comes. It’s a great set up. Thanks for watching and providing your constructive feedback. We appreciate it.
Great video! You mentioned that the fork needs to be air bled. How do you go about doing that procedure? I haven't found any specific information on it.
Thanks for watching, @515Mustang !! Retail, the front end drop-ins are 849 and the rear remote reservoir suspension is 1415. For the rear, there are less expensive options as well that get the job done great. We just like the external reservoirs for more adjustments. Feel free to shoot an email to info@2lanelife.com if you decide to get some suspension upgrades 👍
Great instructive video guys. Really like the looks on those legends. The reason you guys went with Legends vs Ohlins is because of lets say experience on your previous bikes?
Yes, we haven’t tried Ohlins but we have run these on 3 or 4 different bikes and love em. And the Legend Team is like family to us. And made here in the USA.
Excellent step by step guide video guys. Is there any possibility to make a similar video of the parts eg. Handle bars, pull backs, foot pegs, seats that you put on your RG. I hope you guys could consider my request. Stay safe and see you down the road
Just wanted to pass on my experience installing the rears on my 2021 FLTRX. Using Harley's 63-70 ft-lbs on those bolts caused the aluminum spacers to deform they became fixed... wouldn't swivel back/forth on the spherical bearings as designed. The pre-2017 Touring torque specs for the shock bolts were only 35-40... it only changed in 2017 because of the new design OEM shocks where the large washer and shock heads were in direct contact.
When set properly do the 13” versions maintain same ride height as what you get with the 12” shocks on newer touring models ? I can’t afford to go any higher… I’m short
Yes, when the sag is set correctly on the 13" suspension it should measure 12" bolt to bolt which is just about the same as the stock suspension but with significantly improved performance. There are lower shocks available, but travel is sacrificed. How tall are you? Josh and Lance Jr are ~5'8" and both rock the 13" suspension and can flat foot on the baggers.
I torqued my 2020 cvo to 70 after watching this vid. Had to order new washers/spacer kit. Beware of proper torque specs. 40 is the magic number not 70 on the M8s
Never had one but we recommend using our 21 Kit on a standard fat tire and our 23 Kit on a 21”fat. But I would always recommend them performing a dry mock up without suspension in the forks and to have them bottom it out to make sure they aren’t going to smash the fender This is from Legend. You can call us Monday to discuss if you like. 1-818-207-7084
no you DONT have to do anything to a stock HD but if you want its out there im on my 3 rd flhtc 6 th Heritage and 1 lowrider I never have changed any shocks or fork springs i average 26,000 miles a year since i was 18 with my Low Rider a stock Harley needs nothing will last at least 100,000 miles
Yup, all preference. We recently spent some time riding stock bikes and it got the job done, but for us it was night and day getting back on our bikes and sitting in a comfortable position without slouching as well as having suspension that performs👍
I don’t think Lance and his luggage would exceed 250 lbs. looks like he will have a real stiff ride upfront with setting the fork cartridges to set #1.
.So its not brand new then as mentioned (still not in owners possession at that point) it got a 1000 miles on it. .lol how naïve is it to call the fork oil V-Twin fork oil.. Was this done with out the owner's knowledge, or knew about it.. its labeled as you guy's stole it (?) so what does that mean? Reason I ask is it would be a good experiment on a non- suspecting owner to see for any reaction after when the owner hops back on their bike to see what if any reaction they have, and how long it take for them to notice. Yea, you can pay for someone to do it.. but that's half of the fun in biking.. don't you think? But what a shame that harley outfits their over priced bike with junk suspension.. I have one (SG), and it was the worse ride of any road bike I every owned.. (Many of the other large road bike manfacturuers are dragging harley where they never wanted to go, but still it's taking so long..) if you have a Glide, and are under 190lbs or over 250lbs, you will know what i mean. Thanks for showing the optional canister mount options. AND there was no review or reaction from the owner..what a let-down, come on guys
This is an old drop. What do you mean come on guys. It’s a spoof. “We stole Lance Coury’s 2020 CBO” And we changed out the front and rear and gave people great insight as what they need to do if they change on their own. So what are you saying?
CONGRATS GUYS , FINALLY YOU GUYS CAME TO US BIKERS . YOU GUUS ARE FOR REAL .
Thanks Michel!!! 👍👍
A $40,000 CVO should already have those on there. That's my main complaint with H-D. They charge crazy money for a bike that still needs upgrades.
It sure would be nice to see some superior suspension come stock..agreed 👍
Thanks for watching HvyMetal4ever
Hvy,,Spot On!
Cool install video... keep up the great work guys.

Thanks and saw you on the live!
2LaneLife always gotta support the best riders
Would love to have my bike done
I noticed the sticker on the rear shocks is pointing out should be on the inside!
all I hear are crickets.. lol
Another video i watched said they point in towards the tire.
Semper Fi Devil Dog! Great video.
🤘🤘
Great video! You mentioned that the fork needs to be air bled. How do you go about doing that procedure? I haven't found any specific information on it.
Is the access to the triple tree pinch bolts as easy to get to on the Street Glide?
Geat video what’s the whole package run on something like this?

You supposed to leave those factory washers off rob.
Great information though my 2015 CVO Roadglide has air shocks in the back! ?
We prefer this setup for performance and handling, but air can get the job done too! Thanks for watching Tim
Thanks for helping me get the cartridges in. What is the torque setting for the triple tree clamps and the 12mm on the bottom? 2017 Road king special

Awesome, thanks for the tip John! Much appreciated 👍
Yes that happened to me too on rks 2017 had to flip the spacers around and use less torque
Question, what do you adjust when your traveling with Bags and the passengers? All three? Or what?
We haven’t had to make adjustments. Maybe 1 click on the Compression.
When set properly do the 13” versions maintain same ride height as what you get with the 12” shocks on newer touring models ? I can’t afford to go any higher… I’m short

Do you know where can I get those brackets to rest on the upper part of the rear fender? The only ones that pops up is the 250$ legends... 🤦🤦🤦
Those are the only brackets that we know of
@@2LaneLife got it tnx!
Is the Legend Suspension noticeably better than the stock 2021 RGL shocks?
100%. Most if not all of the baggers have the same suspension, which is less than ideal. In other words, does a bear sh*t in the woods? haha
@@2LaneLife Thank you for your reply.

Will this work with fat tire kit?

How to contact Kyle should I decide on Legend? Would like for him to do my install...
Where are you located? Give us a call at (818)-207-7084 and we'll see what we can do

Nice job!!! Kewl!! :)
Thanks, Jay!!
Where Kyle work at? He seems pretty awesome.
He’s awesome! Works for Harley Davidson.
@@2LaneLife At Simi Harley? I live in Camarillo.
Sure is a.damn shame to spend 45k on a bike and it still needs upgrades. Best bet is to go with a special.
We like our parts….
