Good description of the ride quality improvements. I had very similar results after I installed the Legends on my Ultra.

I appreciate that you showed the drop. Can happen to anyone.

Your impressions of the Wilbers seem pretty much spot on with mine. I previously rode a 2014 Limited that I had: 1) stock air adjustable suspension; 2) 13 inch H-D hand adjustable Showa upgrade suspension with H-D Showa cartridge front; 3) custom built by Ohlins HD 159 model S36DR1L suspension with H-D Showa cartridge front;; 4) Wilbers Nivomat suspension. On that bike, without a doubt, the Ohlins suspension with H-D Showa cartridge front was the best handling, best riding suspension of the 4 combinations. That said, I was extremely impressed with the Wilbers suspension. It performed very nearly the same as the Ohlins set up but didn't require the 15 minute setup ritual to change from 1-up to 2-up riding settings of the Ohlins which definitely justified the expense of the Wilbers for me. My '23 Low Rider ST has been upgraded from the stock rear suspension to the H-D Ohlins rear suspension instead of Wilbers because my ST will remain a 1-up bike. Since the Ohlins has an easily adjustable preload (along with all the additional adjustments) I firmly believe its' the right choice for my riding style/preferences. I do plan to update the front end to the H-D Ohlins setup next season as funds & opportunity allows. Thanks for the great channel & vids on your Low Rider ST. Dave

Ohlins is the very best... there is a reason they are on a majority of the high-end sport bikes.

My dream suspension - appreciate the honest review

Thrashin's triple tree has an option for a pullback in it as well.

This is the solution to getting the right riding position, no more reaching. I'm 6' 2" and these even helped me with comfort level on longer trips.

That's one whipp'n throttle arm! Go Go Go

I was just looking into upgrading my '23 FXLRST. Glad I came across your channel!

Welcome aboard!

Good one, good explaining!

You will be amazed by the twisties, the rear end will feel solid and planted. When you take it for a long distance ride, that's when you will really feel a huge difference.

I put Wilber’s front and rear on my 22 street glide. Worth every penny. I probably wouldn’t have kept the bike otherwise.

Awesome always enjoy watching ride safe and enjoy

The weight of honesty... I feel your concerns and admire your honesty Sandy, thanks

Great review Sandy!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grey Ghost getting ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sandy, you're the ST Man. Looks like you've chosen well again. All you need now is some aux LED's on your tourpak & bags and better tires to complement your new bars & suspension. Have a safe upcoming trip . I'll live it vicariously through you.

Glad your enjoying the new suspension, at least no damage on your bike after laying it down

Been looking into the Wilbers for my BMW R9T, definitely going to consider it now for my street glide.

New suspension always equals happiness

Great content. What helment do u wear. When u are riding are u looking over your windshield or thru it. It looks like a tall windshield

Seems like the Wilber's will do the trick for you on your cross country tour 👍

Awesome video , I was wondering if you notice the new bags especially the right side bag get hot from the exhaust pipe?

Not heating up !

Had some jerk tailgate me the other day same thing, very interested in the Wilburs

You can’t go wrong with Wilber’s. They are the best. I fully agree with your going to the taller risers too. I ended up trading my low rider st for a road glide, I was leaned forward with 6.5 inch thrashin risers and bars. Reminded me of my wide glide. Loved the bike for short runs and especially the weight, when I rode the road glide it felt as light as my low rider st and felt faster. Plus the seating position was much more comfortable. Something to think about ……

Ohlins > Wilbers

Im trying to figure out what I want between Wilbers and Ohlins. 21 Low Rider S. I ride long distance. Not carving up the curves or dragging boards. I did Heritage boards and touring bags too.

Sandy whats the brand of those hand guard/ deflectors? Nice editing on the second riding section!

It's so unusual to hear someone saying HD stock suspension is pretty good😁 I guess in Europe nobody would agree. Anyway, I recommend You scrapping these bloody tyres and swapping them to Metzelers or Avons. Than You'll see full performance of new suspension. These Scorchers mess up a bit there. They're better for a tractor.

I did some 10s on my road glide bc I’m short af (5’10” is short af these days I guess) Same thing Hunched over Those 10” BAR AND RISER set ups .. perfect .. .. or 12-14” meathooks or whatever…. Way better Sucks bc I don’t got the money to change it I can deal wit the hunch but its not fantastic Sucks when u can’t try something first .. either of those other setups way more comfy for me.

Why didn’t you get a Road King Special throw on the ST fairing and do the same mods on a touring model..

I had one of the first Low Rider STs in the country. only a year later Advanblack came out with a fairing....

The suspension on my Electra Glide is very easily adjusted. I just put air in, I let air out.😂😂 Did you Ever adjust the suspension on your Electra guide standard? That might be why you thought it was junk.

A great time to add heated grips when you do your riser and bars and write it like you stole it and then hide it in the bushes hahaha

I like your videos but he was tailgating you because you pulled over into the left lane in front of him... Hammer lane is for hammering...

HADTA LAYERDOWN HOSS GOBBLESS get some saddle bag guards We all drop it eventually

Name is Sandy . Happy you enjoyed and commented. As long as you’re entertained- that’s good 💪🏻😅

old biker friend of mine said always carry ball bearings in your pocket.

G’day Sandy, how is the comfort on rougher roads compared to stock? I have a crook back and trying to prolong my riding years and haven’t been able to find much on the Wilbers Nivomat comfort wise on the Soft Tails compared to stock. My last bike had Legend air shocks which were pretty good but more expensive than Wilber’s.

Suspension is better than stock- on all road conditions

That might be a 2018 - 2020 F150 with that style of DRL.

Wait... did you just laid your bike Sandy?

Pretty convinced that most cruisers have garbage suspension. And you really don’t realize it till you change it. There are a few exceptions out there. My R18 is pretty dialed but my Triumph Speedmaster is pretty Meh. All my Harley’s were horrible.

Damn wilbers caused him to drop the bike!

Sport orientated.

That in the pickup could be charged with menacing if you got his plate, even without the plate, with a good identification. That was completely uncalled for. I wouldn't be surprised if a viewer finds that truck.

Pretty easy to spend a lot more than that for a fully adjustable suspension like Ohlins. I've got over $3500 in my Big Bear Performance 29mm cartridges and Ohlins 14" rear mono-shock, could have spent more depending what combo I went with. And it's been one of the best modifications to the FXLRST. Suspension is one of the most important parts of a motorcycle, and stock just doesn't cut it.

@holyshift love the tunes sandy necer knew u were a OG!!
