Ricor Intiminator pays off |

I have an 06 HD Dyna Streetbob. About a year and a half ago, I was riding into work on the Houston I-45, when I smacked a pothole that sent my front end diving, and wobbling. I slowed down and had to collect my thoughts because I darn near was road rash.
After that, I swore I would invest in suspension upgrades. I found Ricor intiminators. Emailed Ricor, Brian responded immediately, answered my questions on the product and install, not just a canned response. So I bought em and and plopped em in, went for a ride. What a difference, stability, turning, braking, and even hit potholes, that were like pillows after my intiminators were installed. My front end is night and day from stock Harley Davidsons and alot of that is due to Ricors technology. So thanks guys for making a safer, more enjoyable ride for me. The only downside is it has made me notice how inferior the stock rear suspension is compared to the Ricor front end, guess I'll have to work on that in the future. :)

49mm Intiminators |

Outstanding handling and ride improvement. Not only is there a marked improvement in ride quality over all surfaces, but the increased handling in corners is significantly improved from a much reduced brake dive when entering a corner and through the center of the turn, especially over rough surfaces. The confidence I feel is that the tire no longer loses contact over these rough surfaces, which can be very unnerving to even the most experienced rider. These units have turned my ho hum canyon runs into an exhilarating ride. Not only do these intiminators increase the fun factor, it is in my opinion, they increase safety as well.
I would also like to add that the customer service is second to none and the crew at Ricor go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied with their product and truly stand behind it

I read about these units in American Cycle magazine and was so impressed with the product that I purchased them. I installed them in my '06 Dyna Low Rider that had HUGH brake dive and a very unstable feeling on highways and roads that had any type of groove or roughness that I had to drive over. With the Intiminators all this unstableness disappeared. There was very little brake dive and a much more secure feeling concerning stability in the front end. Confidence in handling went up 100% and a fun and secure feeling was felt when riding all kinds of curvey back roads here in Pennsylvania-Thank you Ricor!!

Ricor says these little valves that drop into the forks beneath the springs "...detect if the wheel is trying to move or if the chassis is trying to move, resulting in a more stable chassis and a faster wheel response over bumps."
First I'll say that it was a bit interesting separating what I was feeling coming from the front from what was coming from the back wheel. Many times though, what I did not feel at all in the front, I did from the back.
The route I chose has a stretch that is downright unpleasant because of poor paving. You just about need a kidney belt. It was much improved this time. So much so that I would not put it in the uncomfortable category any more. It was not like riding on a good road though, so don't hear me saying it will transform a bad road into a good one; it just makes it better.
I aimed for every road imperfection I could find. Sometimes the difference was remarkable, at other times it was hard to tell if it made a difference. Sometimes I didn't feel anything at all in the front but did in the back.
I didn't get a lot of 'dive' in the front due to braking before, which may be due to how I brake, I don't know. Today, when braking hard there was a dip in the front but nothing I'd call a 'dive.' So I guess I can't say much about that.
Overall I'd say it was a noticeable improvement, but it did not get into what I'd call transforming the ride. And I'd put it in the category of 'worth the $$.
