Harley Davidson Suspension Upgrades Front Forks (Pro Action)

Here's a question for you. What's better than the rear shock system from ProAction? Adding the front fork kit. Let's go. If you are new to this channel, we are a traveling motovlogging channel, and we also dabble in some cinematic features for you during our videos. So if you're into any of that type of stuff, I'd appreciate it if you hit subscribe down below. Leave me a comment, let me know that you subscribe, and I would greatly appreciate it. So we are a week away from leaving for Sturgis 2021. I cannot wait. And if you've been following along, you know that I've been running the ProAction rear shock system since last year during Sturgis. And in case you all didn't know, they actually have the total package. And by that, I'm talking about, you know, you get a nice suspension upgrade for the rear, you get your rear shock system, and the front suspension kind of feels a little washy. Those who know, know what I'm talking about. But ProAction makes a front fork kit, and we are gonna get that installed today. And I cannot wait. Now, of course, ProAction is the sponsor of this channel, but I will tell you, I have been running ProAction even before they were a sponsor on this channel. And I think they are a great product. Not only that, the company in itself is awesome, and they are out of Pennsylvania. So if you are looking for a new suspension system for your Harley-Davidson, you need to reach out to ProAction, do some research, let them know Full Throttle Hog sent you over there, and I'm gonna tell you right now, you will not be disappointed. The rear shock system changed my world on this bike. And I know that there's a lot of great products out there, but I just truly believe in this product. I believe in the design. I believe in everything that they did to make this the best shock on the planet. And now I'm super excited to complete the whole package all the way around and get that front fork system done. So this will be one last upgrade before Sturgis 2021. I cannot wait. Let's get into it. So full disclosure here, ProAction did send me this front fork kit, but I'm super excited to get this on the bike and just give you my thoughts on this, the Street Series system all the way around. So we're gonna get checked in here. We're at San Diego Harley-Davidson, and we're gonna get this thing installed along with a little 15K service right before Sturgis 2021. So we all know those kinds of people that are just extremely good at their job and just attention to detail. And Clint over here at San Diego Harley-Davidson fits that mold to a T. He got into such good detail while doing this install. Clint, thank you very much for taking care of my baby. And I'm sure you do this for every customer that comes in here, but you're truly amazing. So I just wanna thank you for that. We're gonna go pay for this install and then we're gonna get on the road and test it out. So I'll give you my first impressions. Let's go. All right. This is going to be the first impressions test. This is the first time I'm riding this bike after putting on that suspension. So let's just mosey on down the road and see what we think. Now, of course, the placebo effect is gonna probably be a little bit biased. Automatically, I don't think I'm gonna have any gripes on the system, but I am definitely curious to see how it's gonna feel. It definitely feels more solid. I can tell you that much just on that turn right there. You know, if you guys have a road glide or some type of touring model, you know that feeling. And especially after you do the rear shock system where that front end is just kind of floating through that turn. So I'm hoping this takes care of that. But I mean, it definitely, the front end definitely feels more solid. And that's not really saying much right now, but when we go through a couple of turns, we'll see how we like it and what that does to confidence when going into corners. I truly believe that the suspension system is probably one of the most neglected upgrades that people do on their bikes, but the most important. It definitely feels good before Sturgis, though, to make sure that the bike was completely serviced, checked inside and out, so that we're not gonna have any problems that would take away from our fun. One of the things they did discover is that one of my rotors has got a small warp to it, but it's covered under warranty, so they're gonna order that new rotor and let me know when it gets here and I'll come back for that install. So that extended warranty already paying off here. So one of the best ways that I could possibly describe the feeling is that the front end in itself just feels a lot more stiff and stable. You know, it's definitely a lot less sloppy and more responsive to any input that I have on the bike, which is huge. And right now we're just cruising down the freeway, so it's not the best judgment in the turns, but I think I'm going to like it. Oh, I mean, it's gotta be better than stock. We all know that the Harley stock suspension is terrible, but this feels just incredibly solid. Now there's a couple different areas on the freeway where I ride, and I definitely can tell how sloppy the front end was. So I think what I'll do is I'll circle over there and make a couple of the sweeping turns and see if I can tell the difference. And then if I can this weekend, I'll need to get up in the canyons and fully test the system out. So right up here, there's an interchange in the freeway that I take literally almost every single day. And it's just kind of a sweeping right turn. And I always, because of the bumps in the road, the suspension was just always drifting a little bit. So we're going to go test it out right now and see if we can tell the difference. Yeah, you still feel some of those bumps. Obviously those aren't going to go away, but it wasn't free floating like the stock suspension is. So I definitely can feel a difference. Like I said, it's going to be getting up in those mountains and those twisties and especially sturges. But that is going to do it for today's video, folks. And until next time, y'all ride safe, be safe, and we'll catch you on the next one.
