Back at Öhlins USA for a Front Suspension Upgrade on my 124 Cubic Inch Harley-Davidson Street Glide!

[@royrnc]

Your reaction to the rail road crossing and bump has me sold! Thanks for all the great videos pointing me in the right direction.

[@HawkQFI]

Glad that this video was here as I used it to guide me when I installed my Ohlins front suspension. Took my time and it wasn't too bad.

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

Weird, I was told by Öhlins Europe that the FKS 228 wasn't compatible with the Road King Special. According to the Öhlins USA site it's compatible with 2017-2020 Road Kings, Street/Road Glides, etc. while the Öhlins Europe site says it's only compatible with the Glides, but including the Specials. At 8:07 they say that the two supplied preload collars make them compatible with all Touring bikes.

[@markgarcia2430]

Your videos are thorough, informative, detailed, nicely edited with the camera well placed and I can clearly hear all conversations even with your masks on. I don't care for any videos with all the over use of guitar work (and I play guitar) or music and background noise in general trying to make the video more interesting. You did have music but it was ever so subtle. Just the right touch. Sweet bike with a nice upgrade! I will attempt this on my Street Glide now. I'm a retired car mechanic living in Md. I did see your engine upgrade video in Md about an hour from where I live. Again, great job!

[@shocart2084]

Tall, I always thought your bike, as good as it looked, was missing one thing and now I see it was that black front end...it has that clean but mean look...good job on its transition to date.

[@rschris]

Hey Tall , that black on the front just set it off !! Man she looks tough !!

[@fishingwithkids1406]

just ordered mine for the rear. same set up. thanks brother. i'll do the front a little later.

[@Kingdlack]

Street Glide looking awesome with those black forks! I can tell that new suspension is plush by the excitement in your voice! 🏍

[@TravelingTall]

Thanks for watching DeMonte

[@dccycler3554]

Hey Tall - those black folks do look great man. Sets an already awesome bike off even more. Thanks for sharing the vlog

[@thejohnnerparty]

I have been waiting for the this video. The engine upgrade, and suspension upgrade are what I have been interested in. I'm happy to hear that you are satisfied.

[@TravelingTall]

Thanks for watching John, it really changed the whole bike.

[@coffeytnmilk]

Another great video! It’s awesome that onlins encouraged the video and the depth of education.

[@WaltFrick]

I like it Tall, the black does look cool !!! It looks like you’re getting some use out of the Gerbing heated gear too!!! Congrats Buddy!!!

[@N741SP]

Great factory visit. Good tutorial and learning.

[@RGlide514]

Rear is for comfort and the front is all for preformance

[@wwilliams6344]

The front will give you most feel because it will fix the hesitation and the feeling in the curves giving you confidence. Definitely changing mine

[@ToyodaJake]

You give the people what we want. I saw your last video on rear suspension awhile ago, saw this pop up just now.

[@TravelingTall]

Thanks for watching

[@sportyonetaubert5923]

Good job Tall! Man oh man that bike sounds GOOOOD ! 👍

[@SinisterClutch]

When I changed my suspension I felt the same way. A different motorcycle! Just night and day difference. Those black forks look great! Take care👊

[@TravelingTall]

Thank you

[@petelanzone484]

@@TravelingTall Ohlins sold you the fork tubes as well?

[@roadglide]

100% Tall. Ohlins Racing suspension products. Not a bad way to go. Congrats. Ride safe and ride often. Peace.

[@comeglidewithme-feat.poind6676]

The black forks look AWESOME

[@willemvanmaanen9655]

Again a great video! Always interested in how installations are done. Installation AND drive video in one....keep it up!!!

[@darrellochs6700]

Black front end looks great!

[@richardedwin5980]

Hey Joey!!! Great guy. I bought my shocks from him 5yrs ago. I try to visit him every year during Sturgis.

[@darkman8022]

The black forks with the chrome on the motor and exhaust looks great bro

[@keithsingletary7841]

Thanks for the video. I have the Legends in the rear, after seeing this I am going to go ahead and do the front. The black looks great on your bike.

[@TravelingTall]

Thanks Keith

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

If you like it, I love it. Thanks for the install and review video. 👍🏾

[@bigherk80]

Liking that black front end

[@TravelingTall]

Thanks Harold

[@rickyhawkins7407]

Glad the upgrade is everything it should be. The black and chrome go well together. I went Legends rear on my 2017 RGSpl; made a big difference. Thinking of going with the Legends front this year.

[@anthonyhughes8888]

ORDERED SOME FOR MY 2021 STREET GLIDE SPECIAL.. I DID THE REARS WITH SE OHLINS LOVE THEM

[@gordy4992]

Black from looking absolutely fantastic. The whole bike is looking great.👍

[@cecet5534]

Good move! Black forks look good. Front suspension is more important for handling then rear

[@rqrific5510]

Totally 💯 love the Black suspension forks! That bike has that classic Mean Aggressive look now

[@mikedanaher3413]

Nice. I did the Fox rear suspension on my Road King and I love it. I’m getting ready to do the front soon. Can’t wait to ride it when the snow stops falling. Chrome gets my vote. I stopped by Bootleggers the other day on my way through Knoxville. Saw the prettiest Road King I have ever laid eyes on. They said they would deliver it to me near Syracuse NY and take mine in trade. I had to run outta there quick. Lol. Great folks in there.

[@birdman5jh]

I did notice the black forks and I love it! Better for that bike than chrome!

[@nbt3663]

Noooooo!! The chrome is gone. Hehehe. It looks great Tall.

[@TravelingTall]

Thank you NBT

[@chico522]

The black forks look really nice.

[@Harleyforever20]

Thanks for sharing your experience! There is only one more thing that you have to do to bring the whole package together. You need to install polyethylene bushings from Glide Pro. Doing this will help take flexibility out of the chassis and keep the driveline completely straight.

[@coachman67]

Black always looks good! You’re definitely swaggering now!💪🏽💪🏽

[@badlandsbiker9760]

I didn’t expect you to go black but I’m glad you did the bike looks amazing tall. Ride safe.

[@TravelingTall]

Thanks for watching, i felt like people was expecting me to do chrome.

[@jsloveshisharley4199]

Congratulations on your new legs and suspension. That really looks good. I see you went with the black ones.👍👍👍💯💣

[@gman7375]

Black fork legs look great. Looking like a Street Glide Special now 😎👍🏿

[@johnnymossville]

Probably the first thing I will do on my next bike. Thanks for the video!!!!

[@JDH8208]

Those black forks look really nice.

[@charlesmccurry3602]

Just did my rear with the Olin 44 remote res , not sure weather to spend money on a new seat or due the front shocks . Love the new shocks handles great and the ride is also great . I know it it is a crazy question . I should do both but what first .

[@primetyme1494]

Great video I just changed my front forks yesterday but I went with a complete pre assembled set and I did chrome bells and lowers because I have a black 21 inch on the front figured it would be too much black up front plus my bike is black.

[@the-d-man1013]

Awesome video I'm glad you went with black it looks a lot better on the bike I'm glad you're satisfied with the upgrade keep the videos coming🔥🔥🏍🏍🏍🏍

[@TravelingTall]

Thank you, thanks for watching.

[@mojomanmurph1925]

I like chrome but the black forks turned out to be much better for your bike. Enjoy that new suspension. Can't wait to have my front switched out to match my rear. Going with Legends.

[@dionne681]

I love the black forks, chrome is cool but i like a good balance because the black contrast makes the chrome pop

[@hrlyrdr9812]

Very nice video on The front end upgrade. Sounds like you like it! Ride safeTall😎

[@topshelf6623]

Luv the black forks Tall. Good choice..👍

[@darrylyancey6753]

Tall I like the black and the Crome together. Beautiful bike.🙏🏾

[@reggiepate6984]

Like the black forks. I am a chrome person but that black does look good.

[@TravelingTall]

Thank you

[@jeffbird279]

I wrestle with the black and chrome balance as it seems you have at times. I am surprised you went with the black fork tubes but I think they look fantastic, great choice Tall!! You are making me want the full Ohlins treatment! Ride safe! Jbird

[@jimbeam4111]

Have Ohlins on the rear of my 2019 rgs. Looking to put Ohlins on the front.

[@TravelingTall]

It's a great upgrade, you won't regret it.

[@BigSmittyRiding]

Great vid Tall!

[@toddschaffer7650]

Way to go T2! I went Legend Suspension front and back on my SGS. Huge difference! The front goes down gets the road. Front = performance and rear = comfort. I went with black lowers too, yours looks great!

[@gerrellbradshaw3918]

Did you lose ground clearance with Axeos?

[@Hjfvvdst]

Thanks for the video I will be buying this setup because of it.

[@RGlide514]

Tall, Go to cruise armour and get their paint protection for the black legs. It chips very easy. It's super easy to install. Great product

[@TravelingTall]

Ok ill check it out. Thanks

[@neilpatching7443]

The black looks great brother 👍

[@chrishunter5041]

The black forks look good, getting the right suspension puts the control back in your hands, not the road.

[@frankhabib5748]

Love the black front end.

[@benpadilla157]

The black looks good on there I like black an chrome are my style great video brother

[@thepunisher8078]

Cool guy cool video just got the rear screaming eagle ohlins on my fltrxst

[@paulbronnenberg2075]

GOOD VIDEO, GOOD INFO !! Thanks for sharing .... I would prefer chrome ... just saying .... chrome (to me) shows less dings and scratches after awhile. But black (when new & shiny) looks good. I appreciate you riding in 36 degrees for us ....

[@jamescantlin1072]

I think it looks great thinking of doing Suspension my self if you would keep me posted on what you think after about 500 miles if you would please.

[@anthonymann5725]

I put the HD159's on my bike after I watched your video. I've been wanting to do the front. I guess that's the next plan. I like the chrome forks for your bike a little better

[@TravelingTall]

Is this Anthony with the CVO Road Glide?

[@anthonymann5725]

Ya its me

[@CEOsario]

Thanks Tall....Great job....

[@kevincraig8257]

you have a very nice and functioning bike now getting all the bases covered how's the sag lift when you open her up I have the back end done with Ohlins thinking about legends for the front I have a 21 inch front

[@TravelingTall]

It handles so much better, no more front end deep or rear bottoming out. The bike handles great.

[@andrewlavid6776]

Getting ready for a Skunkworks 124 build on my street glide. Wonder if that is who you went with?

[@R71D]

Your review was great! Love my bike, hate the front end dive. Thanks

[@raybrown8220]

Like the black forks, looks good!👍🏾

[@motorcycleden]

A lot of great info! After using for approximately 1 year, what's your thoughts on the Ohlins suspension?

[@jarvisfarrell1344]

I hope you don't mind some of us copying your upgrades Tall. I really like the way they ,and you, explain what is going on.

[@willkearney5002]

Wht up Tall how are u my man? Question not related to this vid, but uhh did u decide on ur audio upgrades? I recommended tht u speak with Carlos @ NVS AUDIO ROSELLE NJ.

[@ThePNWRiderWA]

Good idea. Suspension is more important to me than nine work and where I start. Did you get the feeling like you feel as if your glued to the road? So much better.

[@TravelingTall]

Yes, it feels planted. I cant wait to get on the Foothills Parkway with it.

[@randyb4105]

The black lowers look good, Ijust ordered ohlins for my rear shocks, and am interested in the front also for my RKS, thanks for the video.

[@fosterloy1425]

Are you in the knoxville area. You were talking about the dragon and the foot hills PARKWAY

[@terencebigt3825]

Tall, your motorcycle is 🔥.

[@RRHSKnightVision]

Really looking forward to your long-term review of these. I am looking to get both back and front done. I had decided on Legends but after watching your video, I am second-guessing.

[@Verbiest.isolatie.chapewerken]

The black fork looks great. What are your settings of the front suspension (compression, rebound en preload)?

[@TravelingTall]

I think he told me 18 on the rear. To be honest I don't remember the settings on the front.

[@Verbiest.isolatie.chapewerken]

Thanks, Our HD dealer will install the front suspension FKS 228 soon. But they have no experience with ohlins. I'll figure it out ...

[@leonardsmith518]

Hey hey 👋🏾 Slim . Congrats congrats on your up grade on the suspension I’m gonna do the progressive spring on my bike cause of my 23” Wheel . i just might check that out too before i do anything. Leonard from cali rackem. 👊🏾🙏🏾🤲🏾

[@TravelingTall]

Thanks Leonard, you should check out Ohlins before you make a decision. Thanks for watching

[@leonardsmith518]

@@TravelingTall will do Slim thanks 🙏🏾

[@Smokedilla]

Ohlins are a waaaay better option. Pricey, but well worth it. I'm doing them on my rear right now, but I'll be doing the front end in the spring. Progressive is an improvement from stock, but not in the same league as Ohlins.

[@jeffmx305]

Can you please share with us where you have them installed ?

[@TheBradrulz]

Another good vid, I’m thinking of getting Hyperpro shocks on my street glide! Keep it up!

[@elvisman8721]

Hey T.T. ... curious why you haven’t done EBS kit yet?

[@xsailor1970]

Love the black forks! Looking at doing this to my RG to fix how bad it dives in the front. My rear shocks seem ok comparatively but having a matched set is definitely the way to go.

[@leonjrich]

I have so many questions. What is your weight? It comes with two sets of springs. I wish they would talk about the difference, also setting up the preload and reload. How to make adjustments because when they set up mine I feel every bulb it’s terrible.

[@ladarianhines25]

Tall, did they have black forks there to sell you as an option or did you bring those black forks with you?

I brought them with me. Thanks for watching and commenting
