Let's face it, the stock front and rear suspension on Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and other brands, is basic. It offers only a mediocre level of performance and comfort. This is how companies like Harley keep these motorcycles at particular price points for consumers. Additionally, manufacturers do not typically offer upgraded exhaust, intake, or custom seats, as this would result in an even higher price tag.

Why Upgrade Your Suspension First

Harley owners often purchase aftermarket products for their bikes, but in my opinion, they often buy things in reverse order. Many will first buy exhaust, an intake, or chrome/black parts for their bike. Instead, they should focus first on new front and rear suspension, which will make the biggest difference in performance and comfort, especially on touring models ridden thousands of miles in various environments. If there's one suspension that can do that, it's definitely the Wilbers LDC Nivomat Suspension.

The Difference Wilbers LDC Nivomat Suspension Makes

Having ridden thousands of miles in various environments and tested many different suspensions, I can say that the more you spend on Harley aftermarket suspension, the better it is. Any aftermarket suspension you get for your Harley will be better than stock. However, to get the best, you'll spend a little more, and it will make a significant improvement. With Wilbers LDC Nivomat Suspension, your Harley will feel like a different bike.

My Personal Experience

I bought a brand-new 2024 Harley-Davidson Street Glide and installed a Wilbers LDC Nivomat Suspension front/rear kit from the Law Abiding Biker Store. There's no need to pay a dealership or shop to install this suspension for you, as we provide a detailed install video on our YouTube channel and at the bottom of the Wilbers LDC Nivomat product listing in our store. This will save you a good chunk of money and give you the satisfaction of working on your Harley.

Testing the Wilbers Suspension

I experienced Wilbers suspension a year ago when we installed it on a Harley CVO Ultra and released a detailed video on our YouTube channel. I tested the Wilbers in harsh environments, including alleys with major potholes at higher speeds, jumping speed bumps, and ripping through a dirt construction zone with drop-offs and other hazards. The overall feel and performance of Wilbers was so impressive that we immediately brought it to the Law Abiding Biker Store, and we've been selling it ever since with many overly satisfied customers.

On my prior touring Harley, a 2014 Street Glide Special, I installed Ohlins S36 Blackline Twin 13″ Shocks for Harley-Davidson on the rear and Ohlins NIX 22 Front Suspension Cartridge Kit on the front. I was very satisfied with that suspension too, and it's a great choice. We also offer Ohlins suspension in the Law Abiding Biker Store with a detailed installation video in the listing.

Comparing Wilbers to Ohlins

After installing Wilbers on my 2024 Street Glide, we set out for a 2,600-mile, 10-day trip around the East Coast. I rode on a plethora of different roadways, including old raised railroad tracks and man-sized potholes. We rode through many states and on various surfaces. I also tested the cornering performance of Wilbers suspension on Tail Of The Dragon and other similar roads, where I rode fast and cornered aggressively. Following other riders in our group who still had stock Harley suspension, I noticed they were bucked off their seats and their rear wheels left the ground when encountering large hazards. Meanwhile, I stayed seated on my Harley with Wilbers and had no impact on my lower back or spine.

The Comfort and Control of Wilbers Suspension

The Wilbers LDC Nivomat suspension feels like riding a sofa down the road, but not in a floaty way. It takes the shock out of potholes and almost floats over them, with astounding and controlled rebound, so you don't get any bouncing. With stock suspension, you'll want to stand a bit and get your rear off the seat on large bumps to take the shock out, but with Wilbers, you don't need to. You can stay seated with confidence.

The front Wilbers suspension, consisting of progressive springs (tighter at one end than the other), provides excellent controlled front-end dive control. Stock front suspension is sloppy, soft, and bouncy. However, when riding corners

hard and applying much front brake approaching a corner, it felt very controlled and set me up for trail braking through particular corners that required it.

Wilbers vs. Ohlins: Key Differences

The Ohlins cartridge kit offers the ability to adjust the front suspension, whereas the Wilbers does not. However, for a street application, I could have ridden no faster on the Ohlins than on the Wilbers, and they both felt great. Both rear suspensions are excellent and have preload adjustments for your rider weight and load. However, Wilbers nails it with its self-adjusting feature. Once you set your preload on your Wilbers LDC Nivomat rear shocks, you never touch it again. It adjusts itself to a new load weight within 100 feet of riding, eliminating the need for a spanner wrench every time you add a passenger or cargo.

Why Choose Wilbers LDC Nivomat Suspension

We only sell Wilbers LDC Nivomat Suspension as a front and rear kit because it was engineered to work together for the ultimate ride and experience. The rear is the most expensive part, so adding the front is negligible. We want you to have the full experience of Wilbers suspension because you deserve it. Purchasing Wilbers LDC Nivomat Suspension from the Law Abiding Biker Store is a personal experience. The suspension is custom-made for you based on information such as Harley year/model, your weight, luggage weight, passenger weight, and the percentage of time you ride with a passenger. The suspension is then customized for your exact application for the most amazing experience and usually arrives on your doorstep within 7 days.
