For motorcycle enthusiasts seeking to enhance their bike’s handling, comfort, and overall ride quality, few upgrades deliver as dramatically as installing aftermarket suspension like those offered by industry leader Legend Suspensions. Known for exceptional performance and adjustability, Legend Suspensions aims to provide the ultimate riding experience regardless of your style.
The Case for Upgrading Your Suspension
The stock suspension on most motorcycles, including Harley-Davidson®, offers a decent ride for regular street use. However, for those logging serious miles or wanting better stability, sharper cornering, and fewer bumps, the OEM components often disappoint. Factors like a rider’s weight, preferred terrain, luggage, and passenger load also impact suspension performance.
Â
Upgrading to Legend Suspensions provides:
Â
- Superior damping – Better control, spring, and shock movements over uneven surfaces
- Greater adjustability – Accommodates different riders, loads
- Enhanced durability – Structural integrity maintains precise handling longer
- Custom tuning – Tailored configuration for a personalized ride
Â
Â
Simply put, companies like Legend engineer higher-performing, longer-lasting suspension systems designed to improve control, comfort, and confidence for a wide range of riders and riding styles.
 | Stock Suspension | Legend Suspensions |
---|---|---|
Adjustability | Limited | Fully customizable |
Bottoming Out | Quick | Exceptional stability & control |
Ride Comfort | Harsh | Ultra-smooth on bumps |
Durability | Fades quickly | Maintains precise handling |
Customization | One-size-fits-all | Tuned for specific rider & bike |
Corner Better and smoother with Legend Suspensions
So what specifically, does upgrading to Legend Suspensions actually improve? From backroad carving to long-haul touring, there are a few key benefits applicable to most riders.
Sharper, More Precise Handling
With stock suspension, pushing a bike’s handling limits through tight winding corners or quick chicane transitions puts stability and traction at risk. Legend Suspensions, in contrast, utilizes higher quality damping rods, piston bands, and carefully constructed shim stacks to essentially “tighten up” a bike’s handling. The resulting road contact, even load distribution, and limited chassis movement will allow you to rail corners with confidence.
Enhanced Ride Comfort
Another prime advantage comes from Legend’s exacting ride quality. Purpose-built shock bodies with optimized oil flows and volumes soak up road impacts and vibration far better than stock. This translates into an ultra-plush, smooth sensation over cracked pavement, railroad tracks, and potholes. Long days in the saddle take a toll on your body, but rider fatigue can be significantly reduced by upgrading to Legend Suspensions performance shocks. Targeted damping takes the bite out of sudden bumps while controlled rebounding prevents wallowing handling. Say goodbye to those unexpected kidney punches and sore backside!
Â
Top quality suspension provides greater control of your ride with less physical effort. Once you upgrade and experience the difference, you’ll wonder why you didn’t reward yourself sooner.
Easy Adjustability
Unlike OEM shocks with no or minimal tuning options, Legend packs adjustability into most of their systems. Convenient hand knobs allow quick preload and rebound tuning while adjustable length shock bodies and links permit ride height changes.
This adaptability lets you dial in settings for riding two-up, fully loaded touring, or aggressive solo mountain carving, all on the same bike. Expect a transformative ride customized to your individual needs and style.

Dialed-In: Installation & Tuning
Transforming your motorcycle’s handling requires proper installation and tuning. Luckily, Legend Suspensions systems bolt onto most Harley-Davidson’s® without additional modifications. However, it’s still best to have a certified mechanic perform the swap.
Â
With the suspension itself dialed in from Legend Suspensions factory settings, riders can then fine-tune to their heart’s content. Adjustments to alter ride height, preload, rebound, and compression damping allow customizing a truly personalized ride.
