HARLEY-DAVIDSON SUSPENSION UPGRADES
Is it time to upgrade the suspension on your Harley?
Here’s 7 reasons why suspension upgrades are an investment in your motorcycle riding:
1. INCREASED ROAD HOLDING
Feel increased ‘grounding’ on every turn and cruise smoothly on any road surface, even at spirited speeds. The improved traction lets you experience your bike’s performance at new levels without compromising stability.
2. BETTER BRAKING PERFORMANCE
With the optimised suspension, braking is more responsive, helping you stop with confidence. You’ll experience better feedback and a greater sense of control with decreased stopping distances.
3. MUCH SMOOTHER RIDE
New Zealand roads are pretty rough. With upgraded suspension, your comfort is increased significantly for you and your pillion. No more ‘bracing yourselves’ on bumps and patches; upgraded suspension will make your ride a lot smoother.
4. ADJUSTABLE SETTINGS
Adjust the preload, compression, and rebound to get the precise feel you want. Whether it’s a firm ride, a more plush feeling, a sporty setup or a softer set up, adjustability allows your to set it up the way you like it. Plus the adjustability allows you tailor the ride when adding a pillion and luggage.
5. INCREASED PILLION COMFORT
Make sure your passenger enjoys the ride just as much as you do. The upgraded suspension improves stability and smoothness, ensuring that both you and your pillion have a premium riding experience.
6. PREDICTABLE HANDLING
Feel in control at all times. Suspension upgrades allow your bike’s handling to be more consistent and reliable, letting you take on curves and corners with confidence.
7. PLUSH, PREMIUM FEEL
Experience a new level of luxury on every ride. The high-quality suspension provides a refined, smooth, and cushioned experience that brings a whole new level of enjoyment to each journey.
THREE LEVELS OF INVESTMENT
There are many different ways to approach Harley-Davidson Suspension set-ups. We recommend considering both the rear and front set-ups to get the best outcomes. Make sure you discuss your desired results with one of our consultants so you can experience the best outcomes for your investment.
1. GOOD
You can achieve a lot with a modest investment. Replacing the springs with ones that are more applicable to our roads and your riding style will benefit your riding experience and comfort.
2. BETTER
By replacing the front and rear suspension components for more advanced and specific set-ups, you will experience a dramatically improved feel, increased adjustability, increased road-holding and a lot more comfort.
3. BEST
Suspension can get very advanced and the investment level is reflected in that. By replacing complete components in both the front and rear to incredibly advanced system such as Ohlins and the likes, you will experience unbelievable suspension response, traction, adjustability and performance. This set-up also typically involves renewing complete front forks, upper and lower clamps and sometimes brake components for the ultimate performance and handling outcome.
Rear: Ohlins / Screamin’ Eagle® Rear adjustable shocks with external reservoirs. Front: Ohlins fork cartridge kit with rider weight specific springs. Added: Stabiliser Bar.
