The problem with suspension upgrades is that people have no comparison and reference point, unless you actually try it and see the difference most of us think that factory suspension works great and there's nothing wrong with it. I was there also and I thought that my BMW rides me so much better than my previous Goldwing, turns out I was wrong until I switched to Wilbers shocks and now I understand what better means. Surely it was expensive upgrade but worth every penny as my bike is truly so much better. I think if we can demo bike with upgraded custom made shocks it will be eye opening experience for many of the riders. Thanks Max for many videos explaining the principles how everything works in the suspension it is very informative and helpful.
Excited to be installing the Traxxion suspension. The customer reports like this one is the reason I became a believer. Soon I will be able to experience it.
I had my 2016 GL1800's suspension upgraded a few weeks ago as well with the Mega Monty. I noticed everything the other customer observed but for me, the biggest difference was the low-speed stability. U-turns and parking lot maneuvers are so much easier now.
Hello Max, y’all did the full Monty on my 09 Wing on April 6. Rode to Columbia,SC today via the interstate and returned via US 378, mostly two lane and four lane divided highway. Wind was very gusty and temps were in the eighties. Everything you said is spot on, my bike was smoother, more stable, just beyond what I thought it could be. Had a friend with me on a 18 Streetglide, he was worn out by the time we got back, and had to make several “rest stops.” I wanted to ride faster than I normally do because the bike handles so well, is so smoov and responsive, yes, better than smooth. Best thing I ever done for this bike, will be with me unless other circumstances dictate different. Thanks a mil.😎
Hello Max, quick question please. On the new 2018 GoldWing the ride is fantastic, the best comfort ride I’ve ever experienced in 50yrs Of riding. If I was to have the Traxxion suspension installed in both front and rear would I notice an even better ride? And where if any improvements would I feel? Street, highway, fast, slower, handling or just all around? PS: I have watched all your vids including the one with the coring.
Good question as I feel the same way, never had a bike ride so smooth and I do not feel beat up at all after an extended ride, look forward to Max's video

Thanks Max, makes a lot of good sense. I enjoy your educational videos.

Let us know how it all works out!
