One thing I ABSOLUTELY HATE is the fact that I have to take the bag off every time i switch solo to two up. My wife and i ride most of the time she is here but the next morning i may ride to work then that evening she will jump on and we will go to dinner.. Its just so much taking the bag off and on and twisting that ****..

Some say air ride with a button would fix that but i dont know if I want to go that way or not.. Does anyone have any ideas or other thoughts.. I too am on 18 SGS thats why i am asking same as this guy.

thanks
I hear ya on that one. I will say that going to a premium shock will alleviate that to a certain degree. I had a bit of an issue with that on the premium ride that the bike came with, and it was similar with the Ohlins 136’s...definitely a firm ride one up without adjusting. The PA’s handle going one up to two without adjusting much better, but still is firmer one up. Of course...I’m 280lbs on an Ultra Limited, so it might be more apparent on a lighter package.

I am actually looking at Legend Air A FLH Air Suspension System. Has a rebound seperate setting on the outside of the houseing to give even more adjustability.

plus the air up and down buttons are on the bars, not having to hide them somewhere. It comes all ready to be installed a certain way on the sgs.

Legend is a Premium name brand as well. Anyone have any thoughts on this? This solves my issues with taking the bags off everytime i change 1 to 2 up. plus I can change how the bike is handling on the fly which is cool too.

thanks

Well, still no review since I’m still waiting on the shocks to be built. A few set backs with Pro Action between them being at Sturgis and being back ordered. Should have them next week

Unfortunately that's a problem across the board, at this time of the year!

Absolutely. George from PA also provided a few dollars off plus free shipping for the inconvenience. Excellent customer service so far.

you won’t be disappointed one bit with the Pro Actions. I stopped and talked to them at Sturgis and both DJ and George are super nice, down to earth people.

My 14” shocks arrived yesterday from DK Customs...two day delivery. I’ll throw them on and report back. My 13” Pro Actions are for sale if anyone is interested. PM me

I'm definitely looking forward to the improvement. Hopefully it's worth the cost
