Fitment: 2004 - 2022 Harley-Davidson Sportster Models (Except Superlow)
P3006 REV C
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
STEP ONE: INSTALL SHOCKS
A. With motorcycle properly supported on jack, remove the stock shocks.
B. Apply blue threadlocker to the hardware and install your REVO shocks FIGURE A. If installing REVO-A install with adjuster knob facing the rear of the motorcycle.
C. Torque hardware to OE specifications.
WARNING:
Before purchasing or attempting to install shocks that are different than the OEM length, confirm that the wheel travel can be altered without causing clearance issues, such as swing-arm/axle to exhaust contact as well as chain/belt guard and tire clearance.
- Legend supplied large spacer
- Legend supplied small spacer
- OE lock washer
- OE bolt
- Rebound adjuster facing rear of motorcycle
STEP TWO: CHECK FOR PROPER MOUNTING
Once shocks are installed with the proper hardware FIGURE A, make sure you can rotate them freely in both directions FIGURE B.
IF SHOCKS DO NOT ROTATE FREELY, CHECK THAT THE HARDWARE IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY.
- DO NOT USE LARGE OEM FLAT WASHERS
SET UP INSTRUCTIONS
STEP ONE: SET SAG
- Verify springs on each shock are adjusted evenly (same
number of threads exposed below the spring) FIGURE D. - Sit rider (with gear on), passenger, and the load you intend
on carrying, on the motorcycle. - Measure the shock length from the center of the lower
mounting bolt to the center of the upper mounting bolt
FIGURE C. - Refer to the table below to determine the proper sag
measurement based on the shock length purchased:
| Shock Length | Proper Sag Measurement |
|---|---|
| 12" | 11.5" |
| 13" | 12" |
- If the measured length is less than the proper sag measurement.
Increase spring preload by threading spring UP the shock body
to tighten spring (LESS SAG) FIGURE D. - If the measured length is greater than the proper sag measurement. Decrease spring preload by threading spring DOWN the shock body to tighten spring (MORE SAG) FIGURE D.
- Make equal adjustments to left and right shocks.
STEP TWO: REBOUND DAMPING (APPLICABLE TO REVO-A)
- Rebound damping controls the speed at which the shock absorber extends after being compressed.
- If you feel the suspension has a mushy or oscillating feel to it, increase the rebound damping to a higher number. If the suspension feels slow reacting or feels firm on closely spaced bumps, decrease the rebound damping to lower number.
- Turn rebound adjuster to the same number on the left and right shocks, firmer or softer depending on preference and test ride again.
- Fine tune rebound damping: For Legend Air-A and Revo-A models. Machined recess below rebound adjuster indicates rebound setting.
- Setting 1: provides lowest level of rebound damping.
- Setting 3: provides intermediate level of rebound damping. IMPORTANT: most commonly used setting
- Setting 6: provides highest level of rebound damping.
- Machined recess on shock
- Increase Spring Preload
- Reduce Spring Preload
- Before adjusting sag, verify this measurement is the same on both sides.
USE WITH AFTERMARKET FRAME SLIDERS
- Install additional Legend supplied 5/16″ spacer between slider and stainless steel spacer
- Legend supplied stainless steel spacer
- Legend supplied aluminum spacer
