How to install RWD RS-1 Monoshock for Harley Davidson! How does it perform? 🤔

Walking you guys through the installation of a Russ Wernimont Designs RS-1 Monoshock on a Harley-Davidson 2018+ Softail (FXLRS). This shock is awesome! Russ Wernimont partnered with Walker Evans racing to bring you a shock that really performs! Did I mention it gives you an extra 1.5 inches 😏. I'm also giving you my first ride impressions of the new shock. Be sure to stay tuned till the end to see whether or not a Harley can power wheelie. I sure wasn't expecting the answer I got 😅.

Nice video. I think I'll be doing this to my FXLRS. Also, you definitely need to adjust your belt tension after such a drastic change in the suspension. That's a pretty important step bud... Anyway, more lean angle, easier wheelies, more comfy. What's not to like?

I’m glad I just ran across your channel just now doing great videos I’m fixing to get a motorcycle been thanking about it for a couple years and this year I’m saying hell with everything I’m getting one so learning all that I can before get one

Cool video...!! Will watch out for more, if you upgrade for a new front shock a further video of the new performance would be great!!! Ride on.. 😃

Looks great! I ended up installing a Nitron R1 shock because with those you can get different length eyelets and the eyelets are adjustable by screwing them in or out.
So I have mine currently set up at the point where I haven’t needed to
shave anything off the frame. Probably about 13.5”

Hey man, I’m looking into getting a 2024 LowriderS and this is one of the few mods I think are a must. I’m scared to get this bike and it not perform how I’d like though. How good does this bike corner now with the lifted rear? Do you ever scrape peg? Lastly, can you wheelie this bike? I’m into stunt riding and I’m thinking maybe the low rider S won’t be good at that, but wheelies are unfortunately important for me to do lol. Thanks

Good vid mate. Im liking the way youre doing your own work. Im not overly keen on this one though. I'd sooner dump it down than raise it up but its all a matter of personal preference. Thats what makes Harleys cool. You can make em your own. Keep up the content bra!

awesome video! with the reservoir in place would you be able to install saddlebags? like from advan black?

[dextersuarez]

Shame they are out of stock! Looking into buying one as well as a chain soon.

What can you do to increase the height on the front suspension? Great video!!

[khakimzhanmiras]

There is no reason that guard had to be a chunk of metal. Those design decisions add up. Working on the new softail we noted that HD could have easily made the bike 30lbs lighter.

love your set up, im going to do this shock on my fat bob too and want to get my gauge up on my bar too

[jayarango]

Dude Hope Ranch is the spot!!! I’m right here in SB too!!! Yeah lifting my bike with the Rwd Rs1 is my next upgrade for sure, I need that clearance as well seeing as my 2020 street bob scrapes nutty... great video man thankyou. Hmu if you want to go for a rip ...I like jumping 154 into the valley and back on the 101 ...cool little loop ...I like timing it! 🤘🏼

What gauge mount do you have? Speed Kings? I have the same gauges and they have the silver trim ring. I see yours are all black. Looks like your gauge housing covers that silver trim ring. I like the all black look. Did you just add a cover over the top?

Ok, I love your set up. I just subscribed because I love your bike haha. Great videos, you’re easy to listen to and you’re having a great time. How do I get my gauges high mounted like yours?

[LowRiderDill]

Hey man love the vids. What did you end up doing for the preload and sag ? I know you have to adjust it after install.

[acast_]

Just installed my RWD shock last night thanks to your video! Did you need to fix your kickstand? (I honestly like the gangster lean lol) but if you do need to, what did you do to fix your lean?

[roblee]

Hey man. Nice video. Just imstalled my rs1 today. Would you know which way the dial goes for more or less compression on the resevoir? Cheers

[micahvelli_]

Amazing video man, im looking to do the same for my 2021 street bob because i want a performance cruiser.

[RB-txmn]

Great video. As said above, love that you do your own work. Personally, I'd never do this to my LRS. Makes them look awful. But that's the beauty of it, we get to build our rides the way WE want them lol. Keep up the good work bro.

After you installed that monoshock did it move you closer to the bars at all?
