Harley Shocks Install and Review RS-1 RWD Touring

[@WTDOOR63]

I just installed my RWD1’s on my performance bagger 2020 RGS . I had the Legend Revo 12” prior and liked the performance aspect but the comfort level I was looking for wasn’t really available. Now I have comfort and performance. Glad I went this route.

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Congrats on the new shocks! and Thank You for Watching 👍🏽 These are definitely a game changer for me personally. I had the legend Revo A’s before. Great shocks, but you immediately notice the comfort with the RS-1’s without even dialing them in.

[@DirtyRed272]

I just installed these yesterday!! On of the best investments I made for my ultra.

[@RAIDERWORLD]

That’s awesome! Night and day

[@Elkslaya1]

Well Raider? That’s two items I’ve done some homework on and your videos popped up. 50 cals and now the shocks. You’ve got good taste man!

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Haha! That’s awesome. Researching is key 🤟🏽 Thank You

[@theneverman]

Your videos are top notch. Thanks for taking the time.

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Thank You! That definitely means a lot 🤟🏽

[@RobertS81658]

Just got mine, just need to fine tine to install. Semper Fi.

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Very nice! Instant riding difference 🤟🏽🇺🇸

[@flyonawall6521]

Nice video. Glad I found your channel, can't wait for additional videos!

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Thank You! And I definitely appreciate you taking the time to watch the channel. Make sure to share 👍🏽 and I’ll keep them coming

[@superduty131]

Thanks for the video./ I've just begun shopping for rear shocks and your video popped up. Wow, small world, I was watching the video and recognized some of the area. I used to live in Apollo Beach and worked in the Riverview area. Was really impressed with the You Turn in the sand. As luck would have it when I try that the sand gives out and......

[@RAIDERWORLD]

That’s awesome! I definitely like this area. I grew up in Saint Petersburg, so I’m not to far from home. Yes, these shocks are definitely a game changer. I wanted to try something new, and Russ Wernimont came through with some amazing rear shocks.

[@Frostytravels]

Well done man. Great video.

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Haha! Thank You again 🙏🏽

[@mikecurrier5868]

Really like your videos, great detail without a lot of commentary nice job! How are the RS-1s preforming after 2 years?

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Thank You! I definitely appreciate it. I love these RS-1’s. They just released The RS-2’s, but I haven’t installed them yet. I’m sure these are going to be even better.

[@thomascarpenter7415]

Those are the ones I’m getting for my ‘18 RGS … nice assistant! 😎🇺🇸

[@RAIDERWORLD]

That’s awesome! I wanted to try something new, and I’m glad I went with these. 100% satisfied

[@cr6sic]

just bought the rs-1's i cant wait to try them out, been holding out for a year now and finally pulled the trigger! sounds like they are worth the money.

[@RAIDERWORLD]

That’s awesome! They are absolutely comfortable

[@davida428]

​@@RAIDERWORLDI had the RS-1 installed on my 2020 RGS through my mechanic and the 1/2" was made at the shop when picking it up. My question is this I'm heading to Sturgis this year with a king tour pack with luggage rack etc. How do I make the adjustment for the extra weight, is that done with the black know or turning the shock like you show in your video. Thanks David A

[@davida428]

"Black knob"

[@RAIDERWORLD]

@@davida428 that’s awesome! How do they feel so far? I would adjust the pre load by twisting the spring. The knob is more for rebound.

[@davida428]

@@RAIDERWORLD I've had them on for awhile but never had the need to adjust them, thanks for the info. They are great comfortable ride especially with my back.

[@freddrummond2544]

Great vid Bruh@!

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Thank You for Watching 👍🏽

[@joshterry9503]

Great information. This is the direction I’m leaning.

[@RAIDERWORLD]

These are definitely better than I expected. I wanted to try something new, and I’m glad I did

[@hoss6048]

Any suggestions for front suspension that would complement the shocks? Legends without a res are a grand..bang for buck here

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Russ Wernimont should be in stock soon on front suspension. They put into production the RWD RS-1F Touring front shocks, and should be in stock soon. But you could also complete this setup with Legends front shocks. Legends are also a great brand

[@redrider0151]

I did the rear shocks on mine, it was a HUGE difference!! Wife LOVES the new ride, as the stock was just BRUTAL! How does your passenger like that Lucky Daves seat?? I am trying to find an aggressive riders seat, but still gives some comfort to "The Hammer"...

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Definitely! These were a huge improvement. My Ol’Lady loves them along with the Lucky Dave’s Seat. Style and Comfort

[@richardrussell500]

Another great video... :-)

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Thank You Richard!!! I definitely appreciate the support 🤟🏽

[@Zerotys_ADV]

Good stuff

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Thank You for Watching 👍🏽

[@MrDantastic423]

Hey on the left side of the bike when tightening the bottom bolt of the shock. How did you get the bracket to stay put without moving when you were tightening it

[@RAIDERWORLD]

I just held some pressure on it with one hand and slowly tightened it down. Hope this helps

[@jaimebedolla989]

Love the video , convinced to install same . Bike looks good , what kind of bars are those ? Do you have a video install for those ?

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Absolutely! And they should be releasing the Touring RS-1F Front Suspension on August 22 🤟🏽 Hopefully I get my hands on those. I have the 14” Factory 47 Signature Bars. These came on the bike as part of my deal with Harley

[@gavinchrisaputra352]

Hello Bro, I know this sounds weird, but if you dont mind, can you help me measure the dimension of the box of the shockbreaker? I am thinking on buying one and send it overseas, thus I need to calculate the shipping cost. Thanks in advance.

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Oh man, I’m currently away overseas. I would contact Russ Wernimont Designs Support, and they should be able to help you out

[@PotterProductionsTN]

Have you done the a long term review?

[@RAIDERWORLD]

I have not, but I will soon. Putting it through some more miles.

[@marshallmazzarelli8797]

Any reason ur putting them on upside down

[@RAIDERWORLD]

There is more clearance between the bags and the shocks

[@stevenpalumbo5401]

Awesome video. Ordered a set myself & can’t wait to try them out. Curious what setting adjustment you have it set at?

[@RAIDERWORLD]

That’s awesome! And Thank You. I initially set them all the way to the left, but after the first ride I set it about 4 clicks to the right. And when I’m touring with all the gear, I set it a little higher.

[@mzk6550]

Very nice!!! What kind of scissor jack are you using?

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Thank You! Im using the J&S Jack from J&S Jacks 👉🏽 jsjacks.com/product/loaded-motorcycle-lift-combo/

[@flyawaytx4588]

Are you still running these? After doing an 800 mile trip this weekend I realized I need new shocks and seat

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Absolutely! I don’t think I’ll ever switch from these. I’ve ridden with other suspension before, but these top them all.

[@jordanlane6139]

So how are the shocks after some miles ?

[@RAIDERWORLD]

I definitely love these shocks! Only mistake I made was not setting the sag for the correct weight on a long trip with a lot of gear. Bottomed out one good time, but that was an Easy fix though

[@b6343]

Love your videos very informative!!! Did you change out the front shocks? If not, what brand were you thinking? That’s if you’re going to..

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Thank You! I haven’t changed them out yet, but I will. I’ll be going with the Russ Wernimont Front Suspension once they are back in stock.

[@russellparker3887]

Now that you've had your RS-1's on your RGS....still satisfied? Im in the market....and have a 22 RGS.

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Absolutely! Best decision I’ve made. I’ve ran almost every suspension out there, and these are by far my favorite. I also added them to the new project I have going on

[@russellparker3887]

@@RAIDERWORLD good to hear. I went on their website today and noticed they offer a heavier version for more weight and I’m curious if you recommend the larger version. I’m 205 and my wife is 115….

[@RAIDERWORLD]

@@russellparker3887 I would call them directly. They will build out your shocks for your desired weight and riding style. They’ll get you diled in 👍🏽

[@freds5183]

Hi, Are you still happy with your rear shocks? I'm in the market, everyone tells me to go with legends. Your thoughts?

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Absolutely! I still need to do an after a year review on these. I’m currently waiting on the Front Suspension from Russ Wernimont to arrive in the mail, so Look out for that video

[@user-bl8bn4kb8m]

Can you feel a big difference?

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Right away I felt the difference, especially riding 2-UP. I live around a few train tracks and dirt roads and these rebound flawlessly 👍🏽

[@MCheeks68]

Any updates?

[@abdallahmoussa1983]

It would be nice mentioning the tag price on each item and mods you do bro. Awesome channel. Seems my wife is going to divorce me because of u. Am preparing a list of mods😅

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Haha! If I said the price, most people would stop watching in the first few seconds. But you definitely get what you pay for in the shocks. I couldn’t be anymore happier. Just installed the RS-1 front suspension, so make sure you check that video out soon

[@abdallahmoussa1983]

@@RAIDERWORLD i did. Am still confused on the rear ones. Many are recommending the SE Ohlins. What do you think?

[@RAIDERWORLD]

@@abdallahmoussa1983 I’ve actually never ridden with ohlins. Everyone being on the ohlins train reminds me of the Toe-Shoes everyone was wearing for a while lol. All I can say, is that you wouldn’t be disappointed with the RWD shocks 👍🏽

[@Richard5873]

How long have these been on the market? I was thinking about breaking the bank and getting Legend air suspension. Are these the next best thing from Legend Suspension? I have a 2010 Limited FLHTK Harley-Davidson. With 2 rides total weight 350 can I stick with stand and not HD ?

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Not that long, maybe a couple years. They specialize in off road racing, but just started making stuff for the Harley Market. I’ve ridden with legends, progressives, all good shocks. These shocks are definitely a game changer! I wanted to try something new, and I’m glad I did 👍🏽 With me and my O’lady, we’re about that same weight. I went with the standard. We did a road trip about 2 months ago with about 100 pounds more of weight, so almost 460 pounds and these worked flawlessly. Hope this helps!

[@Richard5873]

@@RAIDERWORLD Thanks for awesome information, due to your opinion and experience I will order them Thanks a Million for the reply
