I just installed new Pirelli Night Dragons on both the front and rear, Ricor Intiminators and Progressive Springs on the front.
Before I did this upgrade, I only had 3500 miles on the bike and it was bottoming out on the front. It had the stock springs and stock HD Dunlop tires.
After the swap out, I noticed the following:
Overall ride is so smooth and the front end is so much tighter and handles better.
Does not bottom out; ever.
Handles very well with more precision and it feels more solid and safer to ride.
The Tires really hug the road and turns are easier to take and you feel safer at making those tighter ones. There’s no feel of any drift over road imperfections.
Walking the bike is a little harder I think because of the tire grip.
Front end sits up higher; I think about an inch and it feels a little lower in the rear because of this.

Overall I think it’s pretty good.

But after seeing what the Intiminators look like when they arrived, I was shocked that a little piece of rubber with holes drilled into it and a cad plated bolt and plate should cost $250 with a 20% discount. Normally they are $300.
I have to say that they do what Ricor says they do but even though they work well doesn't mean they have value. For me, I found them way overvalued. I am not saying I wouldn't buy them and hurray for Riocor for inventing them but the cost of the materials used is not more than $2.
Hopefully someone will make a knockoff as they probably should go for less than $50 and the rest of the world will not have to suffer the cost.

 

Wow are you serious? You obviously have no background in manufacturing or have no understanding of what it takes to invent, develop, manufacture, and market a product. Especially for a niche market.

And as far as knockoffs are concerned, I HATE knockoff marketers. They are destroying small businesses all over this country. They take someone's good idea, have it made in China for your $2 figure, and sell it here for what the market will bear.

Hurray for you, wanting to send more of our jobs off-shore.

Even the Racetech Gold Valve, manufactured by a much larger company, costs $170. I think Ricor has their pricing right. And they do make a good product.

 

I initially had the wrong tire pressure in the Pirelli's. I originially used the Harley OEM recommend pressures which is much lower. When increased to the Pirelli recommended pressure of minimum 36 front and 44 rear, both the front and rear were balanced better and the rear was not lower. However, the tires have a wider profile which still raises the bike.
