I have to admit, I know NOTHING about shocks. A friend recommended Legends to me after he had them installed. I requested info on the correct shocks for my Trike, the company reviewed my info and recommended the shock that was best for my Trike. I was looking for a great shock and a lift kit like my friend bought but they recommended another for mine due to the newer age. Also, it did not require a lift kit to achieve the same as my friend. I've had them on for a couple weeks now and it rides and steers a lot better and my wife is also very happy with them. I highly recommend, if you are looking to improve your ride, send Legends a text and they will assist you in achieving your goals.
