As far as Traxxion Dynamics goes:

Those cartridges are one of the best (top of the line) fork solutions out there. I make a very similar product also (X-Factor) and have sold and installed many to members on this form. I am discontinuing them once the new Ohlins cartridge kits are developed and made by me for all late model Harley Davidson's.

Next weekend I am installing the first 30 mm cartridge system on my Dyna. I am putting on dual disks (320's MMC) as well as real Brembos. They should be delivered on this coming Friday. This was 6 months in the making and they have been tested and on the track currently. The first set was put on and still is on Danny Eslick bike found HERE during testing at the beginning of the year.

Danny said that this bike is vary comfortable with cruising speeds of 150 mph and under than stiffened up to hold traction under load (corners).

What this means to you. No matter where the application is, a road surface is a road surface, that does not change. Different bikes and applications vary greatly. Ohlins is very adjustable and can be adjusted to the owners needs. That is why you see what parts are what and how they work on my web site (Ohlins page, no little mysterious black box). We can make our applications suit a Dresser as well as a World Champion.

What it does: This unit provides a bleed through shim system with multiple dampening circuits which differentiates between the speed of the road irrationalities. Just like our rear shocks it works very similar. The OEM damper valve, fork caps, and springs (suspension system) is tossed out and only the fork tubes, sliders, bushings, seals, and mounting screw remain. This is the replacement parts:


These forks will now be externally adjustable rebound, compression, and spring pre-load. In 2011 Ohlins will market a (retrofit-able) adjuster system that will remotely do these same adjustments. For road use it would be handled by a very small computer (about the size of a bicycle speedometer) for handlebar/fairing mounting. For track use these adjustments can be made wireless from your pit crew, GPS, and external marker recognition (found at tthe track). This is a redundant system to avoid errors.

Dyna: To make it work in a 49 mm fork tubes, it is very easy. I will make a video for demonstration with a girl doing it.

Bagger: Due to the wobble/handling and external valving/spring pre-load adjustments going through the top cap a new top aluminum triple tree will have to be offered. This top triple tree clamp will actually clamp around your existing fork tubes (like a Dyna of Softail) eliminating the top fork tube mounting bolt. The (retrofit-able) adjuster system can be installed. This system will be worked on next week and is very involved as many different top clamps must be drawn out and manufacturing previsions made. Not an easy job to do it correctly. It will not be available in the next few weeks.

If so, did they remove and install the front shocks on the bike. How did that go?

Did they have any issues with your UC with respect to getting everything off and back on without damage or scratches?

I'm thinking of having my '08 UC done by them as well. I live about 20 minutes from their shop but haven't found anyone that's had the AK-20 system installed on the bike by Traxxion at their Georgia location.

Any feedback would be appreciated!
