Traxxion Front Suspension ... ??
« on: June 07, 2011, 05:53:47 PM »
Who has added Traxxion front suspension to their 2010 ABS C14?

I seem to remember from the 'old forum' that there were some threads regarding this.

Fred Harmon comes to mind.  Did you (Fred) have this done?

I'm assuming you have looked into it.  What do they offer and how does it differ from the factory front end?  I just looked at their website and it does not show specific bikes - just "Sport Touring".  They do have a section for "Traxxion Ladies" that interested me - especially the part about service tools.  But when you try to open the link it just says "coming soon...."  Hmmmmmmmm

Good question.  I have the front and rear Traxxion, plus front brace, on my Wing.  I really think it is a leap forward in the suspension arena for the Wing.  I rode behind a friend on the Dragon (west to east) couple years ago who was on a ST, and he could not move away from me.  He's a good rider, too.  I did drag a few parts, tho.

Sooooo .... based on some threads on the 'old forum', I decided to purchase the Traxxion for my '10 C14.  Figured that the Wing and the C14 would have similar responses.

As far as your question is concerned, go to Traxxion.com and see for yourself.  I'm sure I would not be able to adequately tell you the differences.  In addition, call Mike and have him 'splain it to you.  He's the expert.

I'll be happy to supply my feelings regarding the Traxxion front end.  I have the full tilt stuff on my Wing and think it makes a world of difference. 

The forks were shipped to Traxxion yesterday.  Seems the oem fork caps will not fit what Traxxion sent us.  Traxxion wants to do the job themselves.

I will definitely  give a full report when the bike is back together.

I am interested in your opinion on this too. I have been considering getting this done to my 10, but don't know anyone who has them.
