Legend Suspension Revo Shocks Review at RevZilla.com

[@MrScrappydoo85]

I got the REVO-A's for my street glide after doing some research on different brands and I couldn't be happier with the ride! Doesn't even feel like the same bike! I did the 13". Now I'm going to save for the fronts!

[@scottlin7876]

installed the rvo-a last weekend. i love these. ride improvement is awsome

[@Jimbobd421]

I just put a set of these on my 13 Streetglide. What a difference. I’ve had air and Harley Low shocks then these Legends. No comparison. You will love the smooth ride with these shocks.

[@joechapman6368]

I have xotic air on the rear of road glide. I’ve been wanting to get a comparison with these versus air. So are you saying these revo a’s are smoother than air?

[@TimothyHolbrook-jk3un]

Put on my 2010 limited . Absolutely love this product . If I knew the difference it made I would have done it when I first got the bike . Only thing is you have to take the bags off to adjust .

[@georgejunior2929]

I did this front and rear on my 2017 Street glide special. What a difference!

[@SonicH6265]

This is my 4th video about them and I will be ordering a set real soon!

[@andrezescamilla9813]

Kevin Caldwell what did you end up getting and what kind of bike

[@williambalyx1053]

put the Axeo's on the front last fall, 2018 FLTRU (put about 1300kms. on them )..74,000 kms on the bike ..u n b e l i v a b l e !!! like a new bike, put the Revo's on the rear this winter as I ride solo 99.5% of the time, can't wait to see how they improve the ride. This should have been my first upgrade to the bike.

[@chrishuston4514]

I was just at a shop in Stockton and every fxr that was there was running the revo A, so I I just ordered a set lol my woman is going to beat my ass! but my shocks will be on point hahah

Chris Huston so how are those shocks working out for you ? Manteca neighbor

Hope u got 13 inch. these shocks are great.

[@36ELGALAN]

@@nobodysreview6137 that's exactly what I got.

[@MyMotorcycleObsession]

My Dyna stock shocks were real bad, made my teeth rattle on my dirt road. I 'upgraded' to the cheapest Progressive shocks, only slightly better than stock, cost me three hundred bucks, what a rip off. Now I just ordered these, not sure what I'm going to do with those cheap Progressive shocks. My front end is terrible too, but I have to save up for that one. I heard one guy said he did both the front and rear with these Legend shocks on a Dyna and his now rides as good as a sport bike, pretty awesome. On a nice road smooth as glass the stock shocks are fine LOL.

[@avwholesomegamer]

4:31 A full day of riding with that seat is 400-600 miles, maybe up to 800 if you’re pushing it. Doing 900 is A LOT. Can confirm.

[@MacAnAirchinnighJM]

My set is in the mail for my 15 road king. Front end kit from legends is in the garage waiting.

[@kwamestamps35]

Nice review as always. I am 280. Regular or heavy duty? Will I really feel the difference on a 2011 sportster? Many thanks.

[@LonesomeNomad137]

UNBELIEVABLE !!!!!!! A must for all Harley owners. The only negative thing, besides the price was , it made me realize how Fu@ked up my front suspension is. Because its a 93 , I cant find front fork tube inserts. Of course Legend told me they didn't have anything front or back for my bike. Finally a Legend rep and my mechanic got together and and I wound up with a set of Revo-A's. My front end has a wobble and I'm about to hit the road for good.. Help me, AnyOne ? I don't understand why I can't install a set of AXEO High Performance cartridges ?

[@dennism103]

It seems like legends fork and rear shocks installed is about $2,000. Out the door on my road king. Seems fair...

[@soldier09r]

I actually learned something and I think I'm going to whip out that credit card 😂 thanks, Revzilla!!!

[@dannyboy9784]

Hi I'm 6'2 235lb, I ride a 2013 Electric Glide Custom, with passenger and luggage approx. 380lb....what type you suggest?....thx

[@tmar0075]

Never heard of them but have seen that they have great reviews..goin to check them out before I buy..

[@victorramos3919]

I'm 5'7", 185 lbs, my stock shock is 12". I'm thinking of these but also want to be a little lower in the saddle about an inch. What do you recommend?

[@RevZilla]

I highly recommend keeping as much shock length as you can, so I would go for 12 inch shocks and then get a lower seat at some point. Alternately, you could consider Ohlins shocks at 11.65 inches. -DrewZilla *bit.ly/LegendRevo *bit.ly/OhlinsHarley

[@kj8779]

Hello Brother, Great info, I'm 6ft own 2018 road glide special and I like the stock riding height, would you recommend that I go with a 13" shock. Thanks

[@RevZilla]

I believe your stock shocks are 12" in length, so if you like the current height, then stick with 12". -DrewZilla

[@cecet5534]

KJ Go with the 13” well depending on your ht.

[@mustangx]

13 for sure with 1 inch sag it’s basically 12

[@jimregal928]

Comments on here are just ridiculous my Legend suspension made a huge difference on my bike obviously none of these people ride very hard cuz my bike doesn't wobble anymore at a hundred and twenty... and the horribly harsh stock suspension is worthless on the new touring bikes. PS go taller and softer makes a huge difference.

[@11STEVE22]

did you also change the front axle suspension? just got 12" revo a for my street bob, wondering if i need to change front too

[@jimregal928]

Yes I also change the front but the rear made a huge difference.

[@sd3gunner]

how do these compare to Ohlins?

[@klat6636]

So I'm going to purchase the revo A for my 09 dyna fatbob. I'm stuck on whether to get 12 or 13 ? Standard or heavy duty? I'm 5'7" and about 250 lbs my passenger 195 lbs plus bags and gear. My issue is that I ride solo and two up equally! If I get heavy duty will it be ok solo? And vice versa. Thank you for any help

[@RevZilla]

When riding both equally, it's better to go with the standard rate spring on the Legends, not the heavy duty. Stock shock length is 12 inches, so if you want the same ride height and reach to the ground, stay with 12 inches. If you feel you need the additional inch of suspension travel and don't mind a slightly higher seat height, then choose 13 inches. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/legend-suspension-revo-a-coil-shocks-for-harley-dyna-1991-2017

[@klat6636]

Thank you, so of course I asked Revzilla on the website the same day and he recommended heavy duty. So of course I'm not sure. Will i be able to have a nice solo ride with heavy duty?

[@mikehenry5783]

@@klat6636 what did u go with? I have to make same decision

[@klat6636]

@@mikehenry5783 i bought heavy duty 12" ..it's great, I have it adjusted for the two of us with the proper sag and 4 rebounds and when it's just me i dial the rebound to a 1. Needs some tweeking but awesome.

[@klat6636]

It's a little stiff solo hence the adjustment but still tons smoother than stock. totally rocks two up

[@dieselbaldwin]

Why is everything he reviews only for Harley? I bought the Legend Revo-A for my Indian Scout Rogue...

[@RevZilla]

It's not, Lemmy usually covered all cruisers out there but we do pay attention to the market purchasing stats for what customers are looking for. Since most aftermarket sales are for Harley parts, Lemmy covered a lot of Harley Parts. But if you search our account there are a fair amount of non-Harley videos by Lem. I'll link two of our favorites below and let you search for the others. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJKkZn57lK2nsM0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWWZqZ6YrKunj9E

[@dieselbaldwin]

⁠@@RevZilla 80% or more of videos he starts out with “here is the product - for Harley”. Yes, I have seen a couple Indian Scout product reviews. It seems to be very Harley dominated. Even if you go a product for a different brand the Harley video is uploaded there. I wish he would do more shock reviews for different brands for the Indian Scout because the cantilevered design is very different than most bikes.

[@mchristr]

Not exactly "budget" at $750/pair. The fork cartridge kits are the same money. So......$1500 to fix your Harley suspension.

[@clarktferrill]

mchristr wtf...Harley really that bad? I think not...most people won't know how to adjust these for the best ride...so...there you go ...back to something that will be worst than stock...of course everyone is an expert..

[@kenjohnson8752]

Buy them at a dealership and have the service department install, front and rear,...$3,300...

[@shootingwithjerry7836]

I weigh about 250 and my girl weighs 115. I have a tour pak that i put all my clothes in and a rickrak bag with her stuff in it for our 10 day rides? We cover several thousand miles so I want to make sure shes comfortable. Can this be adjusted to where it rides nice with both of us and our gear but quickly adjust for when its just me on the bike? Thanks in advance

[@RevZilla]

Yes, the Revo Shocks have a wide sweet spot, so you don't need to adjust preload much if at all between solo and 2-up riding. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/legend-suspension-revo-coil-shocks-for-harley

[@cecet5534]

They also have heavy duty set rated at 500lbs. Rider/passenger plus gear, in most cases just get the 13” and enjoy

[@vickytrue85]

Just need to understand if 14" can be installed on street 750 2017...looking for a suspension which can handle really bad roads ,height increased and with pillion condition.

[@RevZilla]

No, 14" length Revo shocks are not available for the Street 750. The specific shocks for the Street are only available in 12" and 13" lengths. 13" would be the tallest you can use from Legend. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/legend-suspension-revo-coil-shocks-for-harley-street-2015-2017 *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/legend-suspension-revo-a-coil-shocks-for-harley-street-2015-2017

[@goodboyringo9716]

Not braking the bank ? I don't know what bank you go to but 1000.00 is a ton of money for two shocks. Then brake the bank again buying for the front.

[@ronlheureux7623]

I just checked out the price of a pair of these babies, had a massive heart attack but gave myself a shock with my iPhone and I'm okay now. That was a close one. Please warn old guys the next time.

[@skier259]

Legend is always the best choice!

[@nobodysreview6137]

I bought these, there a groove cut into both spings, like a notch cut in, its on both shocks in the same place, do your have this? Is it normal?

[@nobodysreview6137]

I found out its from the hanger they hang the springs on when powder coating them, i filed down the extra powder coat around where the hanger was and painted the mark with some Testors paint, the powder caot was so thick around where the hanger was i thought it was a notch ground into the spring. These are 13 inch Revo and i put them on my 2013 Streetglide and my bike is 1000x better omg this is how the bike should of been all a long.

[@jacquesyoung7010]

looking at getting a set of these. not sure which ones I need regular or heavy duty. I have a 18 road glide S. out of the shower I'm about 350 I primarily ride solo but with a passenger or bike loaded for a trip I will over the 500# which one would be best for me

[@RevZilla]

I'd go with the REVO-A Shocks with the 12" Heavy Duty springs. If you want a bit more ride height, then consider the 13" Heavy Duty springs. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/legend-suspension-revo-a-coil-shocks-for-harley-touring-2000-2018

Maybe he got lost on the way home.

[@elcid4593]

I can’t decide between these and Öhlins. Can you give me your opinion please thanks

[@RevZilla]

Both are extremely high quality shocks and offer adjustment. However, the Legends have a wider 'sweet spot', so they're a bit easier to set up for varying rider/luggage weight. -DrewZilla

[@elcid4593]

RevZilla thank you very much for the reply. Greatly appreciated

[@RevZilla]

You're welcome!

[@johnsalvi9073]

I have a question to @@RevZilla Do you have these shocks in stock? I heard the Öhlins are shipped directly from Germany and this would take longer than 2 months to arrive. And too, which front suspension will compliment either one of these two rear shocks mentioned?

[@ut1004bp]

Sorry Lemmy, but the way I see it, Revo and esp Revo-A shocks do break the the bank.. To be helpful you should compare these with Mid level grade shocks (to compare with HD OEM shocks is really a waste of breath)

[@harrycampbell9405]

If you switch a 12" shock to a 13" shock do you need to adjust your belt tension

[@RevZilla]

Possibly, but you won't know until you check the tension. -DrewZilla

[@raydelfa1125]

Answer is. No

[@lekosone]

Hey guys I have a 2019 SGS looking to get these shocks, I’m 5’9 and 165lbs. Not sure which length to go with 12” or 13”. Also wouldn’t mind if the bike sits a tad lower. Thanks

[@RevZilla]

Probably 12" then for you. -DrewZilla

[@lekosone]

Thanks.

[@jimregal928]

I'm 5'7" I went with 13's with a lighter spring for more sag. Very happy with my #Legendsuspension

[@kevinhouse6337]

It’s only a 1/2” difference between the two. I personally went with the 13” for the 3” of travel versus the 2” with the 12”.

[@powpow9326]

What size should I get for my 2016 lowrider... I'm 5'11" and weigh 235

[@TwinCamChristian]

For a plusher ride (still better performance too, oddly enough), get 1" taller than what your stock rear shocks are. So, if your stock is 12", get 13". For a performance ride, do the same size as your stock rear shocks.

[@glennunley6965]

What is the discrimination for 3720 chrome Legend shocks and why chrome and not black

[@dennism103]

Oh I'm definitely buying those for my 18 road king...

[@Dviola617]

Did you ever put on your RK? I ordered for my 19 RK. I am sure I will love them.

[@MrFlyboygully]

just do your self a favor get the revo a the revos are hard to turn and set

[@brojami5020]

Why are motorcycle shocks more expensive than those for trucks/cars?

[@RevZilla]

Generally, it's about production volume, but it's about quality too. The auto industry is way way way way bigger than the Harley shock industry. Also, if you look at high quality car/truck shocks, they aren't cheap either. -DrewZilla

[@glennmassengill3532]

Would like these on my Shovelhead

[@sftosendai]

At $930 for Revo-A’s, def not on the budget side of things! Haha

[@DarthxRinzler]

12 or 13" for Sportster?

[@RevZilla]

12" for most Sportsters. -DrewZilla

[@zacharycordova6233]

If I get these for the rear, what do I need to get for the front end?

[@RevZilla]

You don't necessarily need anything for the front, but if you do want to also improve the front, consider the Legend AXEO Fork Springs. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/legend-suspension-axeo-fork-springs-for-harley

[@freedom6919741]

Zachary Cordova legend Axeo if you have a touring bike.

[@dennism103]

The stock hd shocks seem fine.

[@DEATHMETALCYCLE]

Not budget at all!

[@ronverma4921]

Poor suspension front and rear, uncomfortable seat, no heated grips, no standard led lighting, no power windshield, no factory carplay, no lockable bags, no bag liners.

[@clarktferrill]

What's the chance that a novice could ever get these adjusted for the correct ride...I think not...so...just leave well enough alone ..save yourself $2000 ...How many days on the road would $2000 go...

[@vendettafiveonetwo]

Super easy to adjust. Anyone can do it in 5 minutes.
