Do you know if if the hd dual cartridge premium front suspension will work with the longer fork tubes? Also wondering how much more labor is involved to add the CCE triple clamp if I'm already having the chrome lowers and cartridge kit installed at the same time. I'm not at all mechanically inclined and tend to break everything when I try lol. The new front end and extra passenger space where the only reasons I was considering upgrading my 2013 ultra limited. I added the George Anderson tour pack relocator and now want to add the CCE set up to finish it off. Still way less the $7000 and I already have pipes,cam and se tuner done on my bike plus alpine amp and speakers with HD iPod integrator.

 

I phoned CCE with a query on my bike and found them very helpful, so I suggest you give them a call and ask.

 

When I do the CCE I'll be looking to the aftermarket for upgraded suspension. If HD can't do it right in the first place I'll be damned if I'm going to give them money to upgrade.

Two reasons I believe the CCE feels like it "tracks" tighter than the 14's.

1. The CCE has over two inches of clamp, the drawings I have seen of the 14s look much less.

2. The CCE triple is billet versus the factory cast. Very rigid part.

Did I read in another thread you have your bike apart for some reason? I would like to see more actual reviews.

 

1roadking, folks have posted good reviews of both the Harley and the Progressive mono tube shocks. I had called CCE before purchase explaining to them I wanted to use the Progressive and I called Progressive. A two inch longer fork tube cap was required and was provided by CCE at the time of purchase. It was of very high quality. The progressive tube has a small stud at the top that threads into the top cap and it is unscrewed and replaced with the longer one. The top cap is red loctited on, becoming a permanent assembly. I do not know if the Harley tube has the same stud at the top for attachment but CCE should be able to tell you. Hope this helps.

 

Yes please do!

 

This is the start of my bike. That was the easy part. Now to put it back together.

 

Now that's stripped down and ready for action. I adjusted the head bearings while I had everything apart. Looks way easier to do on your bike. One nice feature of the CCE triple is that there is a slot in the front so you can easily rotate the stem bearing nut underneath the triple. If you haven't done the neck bearing adjustment on a touring model before watch out as when you put the big nut on top of the triple it adds more preload. Fall away is checked after that big nut on top is torqued to 70 ft lbs or so. Also when I was checking the fall away I heard a slight scraping sound. There was a spot of welding slag on the top of the frame that the new CCE triple rubbed. I ground it off, repainted and was good to go.

Looking forward to your review.

 

I'm in the middle of a raft of 'upgrades' and recently added the CCE kit to the pile! I'm not the fastest mechanic out here so it may be some while before I get to ride with it.

 

This is an e-mail I sent to CCE about installing their triple tree with the Harley Premium Ride Double Cartridge Fork Kit. Below is the answer I received.
