Our designers and inventors, also called our technicians, are to our utter satisfaction infected with the Harley fever. Thus they are producing one suspension for the Big Harley Rod models after the next one!

“The Boss on the Flat-Rod” is nothing less than the relatively unsuccessful
Streetrod with a lowering to 45 mm. This transforms the quite high streetrod to a “Flat-Rod”. It just doesn’t look much better this way, but also the handling is much better!

Shorter shock absorbers with enough stroke for riding with a pillion and maximum comfort in the TS 640 Black-Line or TS 642 Black-line edition
– so with or without compression reservoir:

• TS 640-936-00 - 1 set without reservoir, 22 clicks rebound for USD 999.- MRSP!
• TS 642-936-00 - 1 set with reservoir and additional 22 clicks. Each in high- and low-speed
• compression adjustment for USD 1,949.- MRSP!
• Continuously variable spring preload with the help of the included spanner!
• 1 Set of linear fork springs for USD 125.- MRSP!
  (made of chrome-silicon spring steel)
• Fork lowering valves for USD 50.- MRSP to lower the fork for 45 mm!
• 2 Litres of fork oil viscosity 7.5 SAE for USD 25.- MRSP, price per litre!

Self evidently we can also supply the suspension for the standard Street-Rod in the original ride height. Together with a new set of fork springs and correct fork oil the Street-Rod almost turns into a “Race-Rod”! Here again: our unit assembly system proves it’s flexibility!!

At present our team develops a suspension for the V-Rod with a year of construction before 2007 and at the same time one for the V-Rod built after 2007. Although a lot of experts believe that the suspension elements of those motorcycles are basically the same. This is indeed not the case. Even the setting angles are different and that leads to different spring- and damping-rates!

The next Rod we are going to prepare is probably the new Muscle, because “this beast” will surely be sold successfully. Again we’ll offer the suspension parts TS 640 and TS 642 either in Black-line or in Night-line. Maybe both and you have a say in the matter!!

As usual, you can order at your local importer.You can find his address on our website www.wilbers.de under the topic “Importers”.

Of course not only the new Rod models are currently under development. Also the new Nightster with its very limited stroke will gets some comfort built-in. So the Harley fever is spreading and more special suspension solutions can be expected!!

Your Boss on the Flat-Rod,
