Just had 13" Revo-As fitted and an trying to set up the sag iaw the instructions. Advice is to aim for three-quarters of an inch sag. Most I seem to be able to get is half an inch with the preload wound right off to within a couple of turns from the bottom. Wondering how others may have done it. I weigh 95kg and don't carry a pillion. Any advice welcome.

Got any pics of the shocks and you should be hoping for at least 25mm static sag. If you can't get that then the springs might be too firm.

so when you have the preload wound off you are only getting around 12.5mm of free play before it starts lifting the rear wheel off the ground.

I'm running K Tech shocks and very happy with them. Preload and static sag was easy to achieve on these. They are more of a mid range shock but for $1k I reckon they are good. I know that shocks that are over $2k would be slightly better but my budget was only $2k which included getting the front sorted out as well.

Any one know what sort of $$ we talking here. Or is it cheaper to buy from the US. Want to replace the so called premium ride hand adjustable shocks on my 2016 Streetglide

I have K Tech rear shocks on my 13 Street Glide and they are much better than stock. They are an English made shock and the ones I have cost $1k. Ride Dynamics on the Gold Coast is the dealer for them.

EasyR which is a site sponsor has them. Did a trip out to Mt Isa from Townsville via Winton and the Legends are head and shoulders above the OEM.

Ive been running Legends on my 2021 Roadking Special since new. Gave them an absolute flogging on a recent ride to Ayres Rock. Did 200kms on the Merenie Loop (corrugated dirt 4x4 road). When I got home I noticed an oil leak on the left shock. Legends have a life time warranty so I reached out to them. They've been really good about it and said no worries, send them back to the good old USA and they'll look after me. Problem is they was me to pay $300 postage............... Got no choice I guess considering they are $1300 to replace.

Before sending them back I'd get a cost on getting them serviced and seal replaced in Australia. May end up being significantly cheaper than the postage to the States and back.
