I will be getting a new Glide in about 3 years or so, depending on how the legends perform in the next three years, it will tell me to keep them or go Ohlins.īUT to answer the question, I had the exact same issue. After that I will be done with this bike as far as upgrades go. In about a month I will be adding Legends Axeo's to the front with new bars, and a head bearing adjustment. They are a drastic improvement over my stock shocks though. At first I agree with Ken6217, I was feeling way more bumps than I expected. I agree with skratch that they are feeling better after I have ridden them as much as I have. Sucks for me but I hope they make it right.I put Revo A's on the back and have ridden(as of this morning) 980 miles. I'm guessing a Production Packaging Quality control issue caused this. The ride truly is WAY better, and now, knowing I've got the lowered parts and once that is back to standard, I'll get my lean angles back, I'll sing their praises. Since I ordered them through my dealer, they are on my side on this deal. I expect a replacement set of suspension parts and the fork oil and for them to absorb the labor cost to do this disassembly check and the replacement. My Dealer and I both contacted them via email. The label part number was correct but what was ion the box was not! The Battle is on. Today I found out that I got a set of 1" lowered in a standard height Box. I responded with NO, you give me the dimensions of the standard and the lowered parts, which he sent to me. He told me to give him certain dimensions and they would tell me if the parts I got were what I ordered. The guy I'm emailing finally said this was the only way to know if I had the right parts. I have been in touch with Legend back and forth for months. So I finally decided to have the Forks taken apart again and measure the suspension. I spent way to much to change them out to something else and since the ride is amazing I'm gonna live with it, Just thought anyone considering the Axeo front suspension from Legend ought to know what they are going to experience. I'm pissed that I lost lean angle, especially since it does ride and handle so much better. They explained their SAG is different then the OEM to get their ride quality. I called Legend and texted back and forth several times and they basically told me there was nothing they could or would do because it was normal. Then Looked at the slider covers and the bottom of it was down on the pin stripe line instead of level with the top of the fender like they used to be.
I couldn't get the oil pan I have always used under the bike. I'm talking about round-abouts and normal corners, not riding the Tail of the Dragon (which I guess I'd better avoid now) I thought I was just being a touch more aggressive due to the ride improvement until I did my 50K oil change. I am dragging my jiffy stand riding like I always did and it didn't use to drag. You lose about 1.5-2 inches of height up front. The ride is exceptional, stability and handling improved noticeably, AHHH but the downside NOT explained by anyone in writing or otherwise. Installed Standard height Axeo's NOT the lowered ones. Super easy preload adjustment (turn the spring) and an adjustable rebound lets you dial these babies in for your loads, though I find that once set up for the Tour Pack and riding two up, I'm very happy when I Take the Tour Pack off and ride solo too.
They are so far superior to the OEM air junk. I went with the standard height rear Revo-A's and could not be happier. I went with Legend after lots of research and reviews and talking to dealer techs all over the country when I travelled for work. Hey everyone, just thought I'd give you all a heads up on my suspension change.
