Hi guys,

I am Fossy from austria.

I plan to purchase a 2018 SG (not the SGS because I prefer chrome) and would upgrade the rear suspension to some better shocks with standard length of 13", maybe ohlins.

Is the new front suspension, the forks, good enough or should I also invest in an ohlins fork upgrade?

I am asking because changing the whole suspension will costs twice compared to only upgrade the rear shocks.

I was planing to change my RK`s front and rear suspension first, but when visiting the dealer I fell in love with the look of a new street glide and think, I will trade the RK in now.

I know that the whole suspension of my 2016 RK would need an upgrade but what about the 2017/2018 SG(S) with the new showa fork (2 valve system or so)

Any thoughts are very appreciated.

Best wishes from winterly austria,

Fossy
 
I replaced my SGS shocks with a set from UK outfit, Nitron, and it's completely transformed the ride. Well worth considering.
