Yo guys this is Bubba, 2018 road glide special, I met y’all when you were at the ohlins booth making this video. Hope y’all enjoyed the rest of your trip. Ohlins suspension is the best money can buy. They serviced/setup my ohlins “big bear” 30mm front end and setup my ohlins HD 044 rear shocks to match. Honestly can say it’s never felt so good, rides and handles amazing, bitch corners like a super bike. Suspension setup is key, spend the time and set your shit up right you’ll be so thankful you did! Such a great video on a great product, hope y’all are enjoying them

[@dabeard_]

Bubba. was a pleasure Meeting you my man. glad they got your Fronts set up and good to go. you arent kidding man. I'm loving these Ohlins.. thanks for watching

[@BaggersandBrews]

Bubba ! so great to meet you, and glad your suspension is tuned up. We did enjoy the rest of our trip and definitely enjoying the suspension.

[@lawrencekirwin9665]

I can’t thank you enough for posting this video. My back is shot from the Progressive shocks on my bike. I will be installing myself and your video showed me a lot of short cuts thank you guys stay in the fight

[@zacharyfett2491]

“Forget the pipes, forget the handlebars………” This was my biggest takeaway from this video. Thank you very much!

[@dabeard_]

Well. Yes. But I personal think when it comes to comfort and handling the bike it's #1 Suspension and #1a Handlebars... both have to be done in my opinion...

[@Hard_Right]

i never threw a leg over my bike with the factory exhaust on it 😂😂

[@LowRiderGuy]

Awesome video, extremely helpful in dialing in my bike for more comfort

[@2WheelsTN]

Planning a road with the wife from Tennessee to Colorado. This video just sold me on ohlins for it. Thanks guys, keep up the great content!

[@BaggersandBrews]

That is Awesome!! I'm glad the video helped. I know that everyone has an opinion on Brands for suspension... but I definitely think these rock!!

[@Hard_Right]

mine arrive today just checking this out for tips on the install

[@Frostytravels]

Thanks for sharing guys. Sold me on Ohlins. I have seen them and was wondering. Bike week 2024 here I come. Always like to get em at the shows.

[@vic1mr]

A demo of the moment would have been great 👍

[@3_AM]

The gold resis look mint. Like you said , you can’t beat a quality suspension setup.

[@BaggersandBrews]

Yeah I love the way the reservoirs look, and 100% the best suspension with a bad setup is just defeats the purpose

[@3_AM]

@@BaggersandBrews right , money well spent !

[@MinnowMoto]

That is super cool. I know I did not realize how much went into suspension until I upgraded. I have a mono shock, dual shocks is really crazy. Great video. Ohh yeah. That window idea is awesome. What a way to not miss a customer. That is top notch.

[@BaggersandBrews]

Yeah a lot goes into suspension and you do get what you pay for . Yeah Joey at Ohlins designed that trailer, you meet him in the next Ohlins video where my front suspension gets installed

[@dabeard_]

Yeah man Ohlins has a really nice rig and set up for Rallys. Good dudes too!!

[@joesainato8051]

Nice video. So many quality aftermarket shocks. I have to agree the suspension especially rear is not good on stock bikes. I went with Supershox out of Illinois. Excellent product as well

[@GalvTexGuy]

This video gave me the information to finally get my HD775 shocks set up correctly! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

[@BaggersandBrews]

Stephen glad we could help, so awesome to be able to set up suspension without having to measure sag. The front suspension install is coming next week!

[@BoDean52]

What a great video to show an amazing product. Well done and thanks for sharing guys!

[@BaggersandBrews]

Thanks BoDean.

[@dabeard_]

Thanks Bobby!! What are you Putting on your Shark?

[@FlipandTheBlueMule]

Got these 2 years ago in Gibtown Bikefest..... in a word... AWESOME

[@dabeard_]

yes sir. that's awesome. glad you you love em!! we do too

[@BaggersandBrews]

Yeah man, huge difference in the ride. Did you get the fronts done as well?

[@BaggersandBrews]

You are correct flip.

[@Griff33]

I went with legends. I bet it’s the best upgrade you can do to your bike. There are a few great suspension companies out there, all about the same. Anything is better than stock.

[@dabeard_]

Your right Milkcrate. Anything is better than Stock!!! BUT THESE ARE NICE. lol

[@discmotoslots]

anything is better than stock. But Ohlins is the very top level!

[@rhoonah5849]

I also went with Legends... my local Harley dealer sells them and then does a free installation with the purchase. The stock shocks are absolutely terrible and things like that give me pause on whether I'd buy another Harley again.

[@frenchy114]

I went with Legends but I could tell the improvement as soon as I left my driveway. I find myself looking for railroad tracks. Now I want to do the front suspension. Just added the Baggers and Brews sticker to my tool chest.

[@BaggersandBrews]

YES Frenchy! we were looking for bumps in the road on the first ride. Make sure you tag us in a photo of that tool chest.

[@discmotoslots]

We've seen riders come in with Legends/Progressive/Etc. & after installing Ohlins on their bike they all come back saying the same thing. "I should've gotten Ohlins to start with!"

[@rhoonah5849]

I put some Legends on my Street Glide and also felt the difference immediately. The stock shocks that Harley uses totally suck. You'd think that you'd get a decent shock when you drop $30 grand on a brand new 2020. I liked the air suspension on my 2002 Road King better.

[@discmotoslots]

@@rhoonah5849 all manufacturers have to make compromises to get the vehicle out the door at a reasonable (?) price. They have to cut costs somewhere. Shocks are a common place where they can save money $! 😃

[@rhoonah5849]

@@discmotoslots $32k is hardly a "reasonable" price for a motorcycle. It is a premium price for what is supposed to be a premium motorcycle. Shocks are NOT a place to cut corners since if the thing rides like a hard tail then what's the point?

[@funhumanusa]

Good video. 2021 FLHTK Running HD 772's and Nix 22's in the front (front just installed). WOW! Got to adjust to riding with no fork dive. Adjusting the rear sag is crucial. I'll be watching for updates.

[@BaggersandBrews]

Thanks for watching fun human, yeah not riding with the fork dive takes a minute. so does not bouncing after bumps . thanks for watching

[@vancedyer755]

Sorry guys, I went with American made Legend Shocks. Not putting down Ohlins just went a different direction.

[@dabeard_]

Lots of options out there

[@BikesBeardsAndBrews]

I did Suspension Technologies USA, can't wait to do the fronts this year, night and day

[@BaggersandBrews]

Yeah the fronts will make a big difference

[@05RangerXLT]

looks good, lots of good tips in there

[@BaggersandBrews]

Yes Khoury, So much of the ride quality is in the setup.

[@rickykeaton9236]

Good video dudes if you got a smooth ride you can feel that expensive horsepower you added to the bike a lot better!

[@BaggersandBrews]

True story.

[@johnkloock4750]

I just installed the SE version. I took off my Legend Revo A shocks . I've got to tell you I'm very impressed with the new shocks it's a night and day difference

[@BaggersandBrews]

That's awesome, I've talked with a few people who have had the same experience.

[@rhodyriderz]

Saved The video Just in case!! 🇺🇸

[@dabeard_]

Good idea

[@BaggersandBrews]

Yeah RhodyRiderz, Especially if you're thinking of going with Ohlins.

[@Justin-tp3lr]

I plan on getting rears done at laconia Bike week 2024

[@jasoningle43]

@baggers and brews, @DABEARD. is there a difference between the HDSE OHLINS and the regular 044 OHLINS springs that you installed? I heard the HDSE are NOT built from Ohlins specifically for the rider/bike combo, Where the Gold Ohlins like yours takes your weight..ect and builds the springs exactly for YOU and your bike. Whereas the HDSE springs are not. Do you know if that's true? Oh and the HD version comes with the black bracket to mount above and behind the saddlebags and just under a tour pack. Whereas the Gold OHLINS don't have the bracket as of yet. So I guess you got a hookup with the new black mounting brackets? Thank you.

[@BigBert]

Nice work guys 😎👍🏼

[@BaggersandBrews]

Thanks Big Bert!!!

I went with legend honestly they were simple he is making it so confusing either is better than stock but personally I’m happier with legend

[@dabeard_]

Glad you enjoy the Legends. Lots of folks Love em!!

[@BaggersandBrews]

It's not confusing at all. But Legends are nice as well

[@discmotoslots]

you havent tried Ohlins so you dont know what you are missing!

[@BuffaloWolf]

"Outstanding, Sir."

[@richpuller1348]

Which is better. Ohlins or Legends

[@dabeard_]

Well I suppose this could be argued all day. But I will say one thing... look at all the teams that race in the King of the Baggers circuit... ALL USE OHLINS

[@benhattersley9213]

Great Video.. 👍 On my list to do..

[@kclarkeadventures]

Would that setup work on screaming eagle ohlins

[@BaggersandBrews]

Can’t see why not , both made by Ohlins, just check what spring is in the screaming eagles.

[@dabeard_]

Ok everyone... get on line and Order your Ohlins!!!! lol

[@limitlessworx5724]

Nice video nice info but Mike keep starting those bolts with hand/power tools is giving pstd always start by hand

[@dabeard_]

😮

[@warbirdcustom8402]

these look great. I assume you notice a Big Difference? Do you guys have a Code to use?

[@dabeard_]

I do notice a big difference. And unfortunately No we don't have a code. But if there's a spot for comments at check out, feel free to mention Baggers And Brews

[@gilbertmal6033]

Did you keep your old shocks so if you ever trade in a bike you could put the stock back on?

[@BaggersandBrews]

So Gilbert, no we didn't, because we were a 1000 miles from home at a rally and didn't plan the space. But that is definitely something to consider.

[@thatharleycouple]

Great video, but what a disgrace that when buying a top of the range Harley the first thing you have to do is replace the suspension. Why can't Harley put decent suspension on them at the prices they charge? (And while we are at it decent looking and feeling handlebars, touring seats................. )

[@dabeard_]

🙁

[@MrBoatingdude]

Great video and this will help me make a decision. Have you done a review yet available? Thank you in advance!

[@BaggersandBrews]

We have done a full review, but i think we will in the coming months. They have been great however it's like riding a completely different bike, especially in the curves !

[@redrider0151]

Did yo have to schedule the install at the show or you were able to jsut show up and they got you guys in?? I would LOVE to do my front in Myrtle or Daytona (biketoberfest) if they are there

[@BaggersandBrews]

We stopped by the Tent the day before, best to get there early though.

[@dabeard_]

RedRider, we had been talking to Them prior to the Rally so when we got there they were able to take us first thing in the morning. But you should Still be able to go and get the install without an appt. If you go to the tent and talk to them they will get you on the list and tell you when to bring the bike over to the tent!! Getting there first thing in the am is the best way to guarantee u get it done

[@eljefe6782]

Does the reservoir need to be mounted there or is there another place where it can be hidden

[@BaggersandBrews]

The reservoirs can be mounted hidden!

[@EastboundDwn]

What are the differences between these and the Harley ones other than the black reservoirs?

[@BaggersandBrews]

No difference , Ohlins makes them for Harley , they are mechanically the same shock.

[@EastboundDwn]

@@BaggersandBrews thank you👍

[@peterpuller8569]

I mush does it cost to get a set of the Ohlins plus installation on the rear?

[@BaggersandBrews]

Peter Ohlins offer a few different levels of rear suspensions, check out the link in the description . As for installation the rear is easy to install, or you can just have them do it at a rally. I can’t imagine a dealer charging you more than an hour of labor to that job.

[@BaggersandBrews]

[@brooklyncvo7525]

I’m sorry guys but the more I watch this video for these shocks I’m so glad I went with legend I hope your not as confused as I am.

[@BaggersandBrews]

Not confused at all, the adjustment points are the same as an external reservoir Legend with exception of the adjustable eye bolt for overall shock length. If anything the website makes setting them up easier because you're not having to have someone measure sag. So I'm not confused at all. If the Legends you are referring to are the Revo A's, they are not equivalent to the HD 044, the equivalent would be the Revo Arc Remote Reservoir.

[@dabeard_]

I mean the website does all the work for ya. Just enter in the appropriate weights!!!

[@nicolasdominguez1393]

I was told when you buy parts from the vendors at a Rally labor is free, is this true.

[@BaggersandBrews]

all vendors are different, i highly doubt anyone is installing a front suspension for free. but yes quite a few simple bolt on parts are a no charge install.
