Ein absoluter Profi arbeitet mit deutscher Gründlichkeit und profiwerkzeug an einer Harley. Das ist das medidativste, lehrreichste und befriedingenste Video, das ich jemals im Internet gesehen habe. Abo. Glocke. Support! Danke!
Da werde ich ja gleich rot…
Vielen Dank für die Unterstützung!
I like the clock bell in the background marking the quarters. I once had the pleasure of staying in a village with a church clock like this and it's surprising the difference in productivity and peacefulness it makes. Liking the smart workarounds you had on those front forks, the cut down allen key and using the axle for fork height installation. Well done
Thank you for your support
Hi Stefan
I very much enjoyed your videos. Looking forward to more.
Thanks
Hi Jim, thanks for the support!👍🏻
Hi Stefan, Jacek, as you can see in the video, he is happy, good job, and watching this movie I admire Your precision and Your and Jacek's cooperation while working on its HD
Thanks for the flowers! I hope he wasn’t yelling at me in Polish, but he’s still smiling, even after getting completely soaked on his way home.
@@stefansgarage3014 I think he is still happy, even despite the rain :)
Hi Stefan, super Video, wieder ein souverän verbautes Fahrwerk 👍
Viele Grüße aus Köthen 😎🙋🏻♂️
Vielen Dank! Wenn ein Schornsteinfeger einen Kommentar schreibt, bringt das genau so Glück 🍀, wie wenn man einen trifft?😉
@@stefansgarage3014 😊
I love watching your videos Stefan its relaxing.
Some wives of my subscribers fall asleep instantly…😂
Hi Stefan ..
I am booked in for the Wilbers Suspension front and back for my Road King Special at the Nordhorn HQ on Tuesday 31st May 2023 .. I be travelling from the UK .. before heading out on a Road Trip around Germany.. hope to bump into you at the factory. Joe
Hi Joe, you will love the Wilbers Nivomat! Sorry, I’m not around end of May, I live near Munich, some 500 mls away
Yes I’m very much looking forward to having them fitted..
I also have a 15 day Road Trip in July from the UK to Sicily.. some 4000 mile round trip the Wilbers will make the journey a pleasure
@@joezammit5448 Definitely, if you ride by Munich, let me know on info@stefans-garage.com
Hi Stefan, great vlog . I’m in Australia and ride a 2014 Road King Classic with standard rear air adjustable shocks with 35 mm lowering blocks which change the angle of the rear shocks slightly. If I was to install the Wilbers rear shocks, would the slight angle change from the lowering blocks have any negative affect on the performance of the suspension.
Cheers, Frank
Hi Frank, of course the Nivomat shock (left one) is designed and approved for a stock Harley. Do you need the lowering blocks because of your rider height? Because the Wilbers shock length is as well 13in, like on the stock RKC. At least two of my customers have the Nivomat in combination with lowering blocks and are very happy as well.
Habe das Öhlins stx36 HD772 hinten verbaut.Bin nun am überlegen vorne auch was zu machen habe da an Federn gedacht oder an das Progressive Suspension Monotube Gabelkit gedacht was würdest du eher empfehlen oder macht auch Sinn?
Ich würde grundsätzlich bei einer Marke bleiben, da die Sachen (zumindest bei Wilbers) aufeinander abgestimmt sind. Das wird mit der Cartridge vorne allerdings teuer und schwierig (Lampenverkleidung anbohren). Nimm Gabelfedern mit Öl von Wilbers (oder Hyperpro), das reicht bei einer normal bis sportlich bewegten Road King locker aus und bringt eine preiswerte, deutlich spürbare Verbesserung.
Danke für deine Tipps und deine Meinung.Von den Progressive Suspension Federn hälst nicht?Glaub von Öhlins gibt es keine Federn für vorne oder?
@@eisele90 stimmt die haben nur teure Cartridges. Gegen Legends Cartridges hab ich in New Jersey mal eine Wette mit Wilbers Gabelfedern gewonnen
servus ! was kostet bei dir der Einbau mit Wilbers Nivomat bei einer SGS bj.
2021
Magst mich auf info@stefans-garage.com anschreiben, Preise auf CZcams machen keinen Sinn (Sonderaktionen, Preiserhöhung etc). Ich brauche auch noch den km Stand und eventuelle Umbauten
Hi Stefan, my ride is a 2014 CVO Road King, my rear shocks are the 13 ‘ Legend Revo A . As I have back pain issue , I wonder if the Wilbers could be a better choice as we have bad roads in Quebec Canada . Thanks a lot and ride safe .
Hi vibe27vibe (?), what a coincidence, I just finished work on a Titanium Dust 2014 CVO Road King. The problem with this beautiful King is the unique fork construction, only shared with the Ultra Low and extremely stiff. We converted the fork to M8 standard (keeping the stock chrome lowers) with the M8 Wilbers springs. Fly and Ride used to have your brand on his 2020 CVO Street Glide and is now happier on Wilbers. So yes, your ride will be more comfortable on Wilbers Nivomat, but you need to do something on the fork as well.
@@stefansgarage3014Thanks for the fast reply, I have the standard Legend AXEO Front End Suspension . Would I be ok to have them combined with the Wilbers ? By the way my bike has the Titanium Dust paint and I love it so much . Just came home from the chiropractor ha ha, can’t wait to read you again . Have a good day
@@vibe27vibe The Wilbers Nivomat rear shocks will work with front legends. 2014 CVO Road King is one of the few bikes where you get solely the Wilbers Nivomat shocks (without front). Right now they offer 10% Oktoberfest discount, so it’s the best time to buy. Don’t forget the 20mm rider sag adjustment.
@@stefansgarage3014 Hi Stefan, just want to tell you that I ordered the shocks an hour ago from the Germany store . I hope to receive them before the first snow . Winter coming soon here in Quebec ha ha . Have a good one
@@vibe27vibe you will have a beautiful riding season 2024, for sure
How much of a difference do the springs make in the front? Is it really noticeable?
Hi Steve, it is very noticeable, I would say 30-40% of the total experience.
@@stefansgarage3014 thanks for the response.
i'm going to upgrade to either Wilber's or Legends on a 2021 Road King Standard. I'm curious to get feedback from the group here on which is superior... i can't really find any direct comparison though from what i can see online, they are similar in both cost and buyer feedback. My HD dealer is pushing me toward Legends, likely because they get some local kickback. They actually said they'd never heard of Wilber's (I educated him, haha). As for comparison, Legends has the "limited lifetime" warranty vs. "5 years" from Wilber's... and Wilber's has "self-leveling"- so i see advantages to both . Would love some guidance before I make the decision.
It's hard to get a comparison between both. Mostly the US guys don't know Wilbers and the European don't know Legends. Hardly anyone will change between aftermarket brands, because they all offer a huge improvement compared to stock. You always have to compare a full conversion (front and rear), as Wilbers Nivomat always comes as a full set. If You are only riding one up, it doesn't make that much of a difference. But if You are riding single, two up, with or without luggage, You definitely should opt for Wilbers. The Wilbers ride is always same or more comfortable as the other brands AND you don't have to adjust anything. Make sure, your technician knows how to install the Wilbers-like shown in the video. By the way Matt Laidlaw is running Wilbers on his personal Street Glide Special and Million Dollar Bogan on his CVO Road Glide.
Thank you so much for the reply Mr. Stefan. I have seen you on Laidlaw’s channel as well as Robert Simmons’- I never dreamed you would take the time to reply personally. Your insight was very helpful. I called Wilbers yesterday and placed my order. I wanted you to know your video and comment helped me make the decision. I will post an update once they are on and I have some miles on them. Thanks again!
@@garyallen6486 Hi Gary, of course I do. Thank you very much for rating my recommendation so high. It’s definitely the right decision, welcome to the happy Wilbers owners (Matt, Robert and many others), make sure your tech does the install correctly, especially the initial 20mm rider sag adjustment.
Enjoy your „new“ Harley
Alles super erklärt ! Welche Größe haben der 1. Inbus für die obere und untere Gabelbrücke und 2. Der Inbus für den Verschlussdeckel des Gabelrohrs ? Vorab vielen Dank
Gabelbrücke 1/4Zoll, Verschlussdeckel 19mm
Viel Erfolg
@@stefansgarage3014 vIelen Dank. Dann habe ich schon mal alles parat wenn das Fahrwerk kommt. Hoffe ich muss nicht zu lange warten.
@@andreaswolter6475 Geht schnell zur Zeit, obwohl bei mir hättest du es schon, ich hab die gängigsten auf Lager😁
@@stefansgarage3014 ich hatte dich über deine Internetseite angeschrieben . Leider habe ich keine Antwort bekommen . So habe ich es direkt bei Wilbers bestellt . 🤷♂️ Schade hätte Dich sehr gerne unterstützt
@@andreaswolter6475 Ups! Da gibts leider manchmal Fehlermeldungen, die ich nicht zuordnen kann. Danke für deinen Support. Weißt du noch ungefähr wann du geschrieben hast?
Stefan how can I book you to supply and fit this system for me please
Where do you live?
Hi Stefan thanks for the reply. I am based in England but would be happy to travel to you and incorporate my visit with my tour break.
@@andrewbooth4341 Now we are getting serious...😁
Please contact me on info@stefans-garage.com for further
Hallo Stefan, würdest du die Wilbers bei mir verbauen und wenn ja, was verlangst du? Hab eine Roadking 2019. Pfiadi
Sehr gerne! Momentan gibt es ein paar Sonderaktionen, magst mich bitte über Instagram stefans_garage oder per Mail info@stefans-garage.com kontaktieren.
Hi Stefan, thanks for the videos. Can this be fitted to an older 2013 road king with the air suspension - I have to say the present ride is adequate but not great. Will I get the full Nivomat effect on such an old bike? I've no real plans to change the bike but would like to improve the handling. Any thoughts please?
It significantly does improve the ride! The Road King in my 2nd video is a 2013 and we couldn’t believe what happened after the upgrade. Much more comfort and precision, Klaus (the owner) still loves the upgrade after four years
@@stefansgarage3014 Thank you Stefan for your fast reply. I'm based in Madrid. Spain and am talking to the Wilbers distributer in Valencia - I'll go ahead and pull the trigger and report back. Much appreciated
@@Meldelkel how many km do you have on the odo. It’s vital for 2013 and older, that forksprings are mounted thicker end upwards and initial sag adjustment is performed with you on the bike. If you can’t get the set by your distributor, contact me again
@@stefansgarage3014 Thank you Stefan. I Placed the order with Novotech in Valencia and will get the full Novomat system fitted by Iron cycles in Madrid. Thay say they have fitten many. I'll make sure the fork springs are fitted thicker end up. Just 16k on the bike as I do tend ro ride my other bikes more
@@Meldelkel very good choice, important as well is the 20mm initial sag adjustment with you on the bike
Hei, das Video ist sehr leise, kann das sein?
Eher nicht, du wärst der erste, der da Probleme hat
@@stefansgarage3014 könnte auch sein, dass andere zu laut sind.
What brand of torque wrench do you use?
Snapon
Do you make wilbers for Kawasaki Vulcan 650 S ???
Definitely not the self leveling, but check the website. It might be available in certain countries though
Hi Stefan and thanks for posting this video. I have a road king special and would like to install the Wilbers on mine . I live in the nyc area and contacted Wilbers usa located in nearby New Jersey. They said they can do the installation for me. Do you know of them and can you recommend them? Vielen dank !
Hi Stephen, good choice with the Wilbers for your Road King Special. Just don't abuse it like Bogan...
Of course I know the Wilbers USA guys, as I work in close cooperation with them. Greetings to Klaus and Michael, you are in good hands. My next JFK or EWR flight is too far down the road, you shouldn't wait for me...
@Stefan's Garage Thanks for reply Stefan! I spoke to a fella named Frank at Wilbers usa , I can only hope they're as careful and precise as you are 🤞.. As for Bogan I'd like him to come to NYC and experience some of our death roads 😄
@@Chopbreaka I bet he is. I will recommend the NYC trip to Danny to have a follow up🤣. Send me your location via info@stefans-garage.com , I might be in NYC in April.
Im sold!
Like many others...;-)
Verstehe kein Wort . Ist das Harlisch ?
Unterform von bayrisch, sollte bei dem Namen eigentlich kein Problem sein😉
