Legend REVO-ARC Piggyback Shocks for Harley FXR – 13" & 14" Adjustable Suspension
Give Your FXR the Suspension It Deserves
The FXR earned its reputation as one of Harley-Davidson's best-handling platforms.
Don't let tired or underperforming suspension hold it back.
The Legend REVO-ARC Piggyback Coil Suspension for Harley FXR delivers a more controlled, plush ride with extensive adjustability that lets you dial in the shocks for your weight, your bike, and the way you ride.
From relaxed highway miles to aggressive canyon riding, REVO-ARC shocks give FXR riders the ability to fine-tune both compression and rebound while improving resistance to bottoming.
Better ride quality. More control. Tuned for you.
Premium Adjustable Suspension for 1984–2000 FXR
The Legend REVO-ARC combines Legend's REVO coil technology with external compression and rebound adjustment for riders who want more control over their suspension setup.
The extended coil design creates a larger suspension "sweet spot" without increasing the overall shock length, helping deliver a plush ride while maintaining control when the road gets rough or the riding gets aggressive.
Available in:
- 13"
- 14"
- Standard Duty
- Heavy Duty
Finished in Type III hard-coat anodizing for a clean performance look that fits right in on an FXR.
Dial In Your Ride
One rider. Two-up. Highway cruising. Aggressive backroads.
Your suspension shouldn't have to feel the same for all of them.
The REVO-ARC gives you multiple ways to fine-tune your FXR suspension.
7-Position Rebound Adjustment
Seven external adjustment settings let you fine-tune rebound behavior based on rider weight, riding style, load, and personal preference.
7-Position Compression Adjustment
Seven external compression settings provide another level of control over how the shock responds to bumps and suspension movement.
Together, these adjustments allow riders to tailor the suspension for everything from comfortable cruising to aggressive riding.
Adjust Preload by Hand
Changing your load shouldn't require dragging out the toolbox.
REVO coils allow for hand adjustment of preload, making it easier to compensate when changing:
- Rider weight
- Passenger load
- Luggage
- Riding conditions
No special preload tool required.

Plush When You Want It. Controlled When You Need It.
Legend designed the REVO coil to improve ride quality without sacrificing control.
The extended coil length provides a larger sweet spot while helping increase resistance to bottoming.
Combined with the adjustable compression and rebound damping, this gives FXR riders the ability to find the balance they want between comfort and performance.
35mm Monotube Construction
Inside the REVO-ARC is a performance-focused damping system featuring:
- 35mm monotube construction
- Deflective disc valve stacks
- Matched piston and base-valve design
- Low-friction sealing system
- PTFE-based sliding bearings
These components work together to provide smooth, consistent suspension movement and improved feel.
Nitrogen Gas Bladder Design
The REVO-ARC utilizes a nitrogen gas bladder engineered for rapid response and stiction-free movement.
That means the suspension can react quickly as road conditions change, helping maintain a controlled and predictable ride.
Spherical Bearings for Easier Installation
Spherical bearings are used at both the upper and lower mounting points to help provide proper shock alignment and simplify installation.
It's a small detail that matters when you're building a properly sorted FXR.
Standard or Heavy Duty?
Choosing the right spring setup matters.
Standard Duty
Best suited for riders whose typical rider/passenger load is under 250 lbs.
Heavy Duty
Legend recommends Heavy Duty applications when:
- Combined rider and passenger weight is 250+ lbs.
- The majority of your riding is two-up
- You're stunt riding
- You have an aggressive riding style
Important: Don't choose Heavy Duty simply because it sounds "better." Choose the spring setup that matches your actual load and riding style.
13" vs. 14" REVO-ARC
Choose 13"
A great choice for riders looking for upgraded suspension performance while staying closer to a traditional FXR shock height.
Choose 14"
Ideal for riders specifically looking for the taller shock option and building their FXR around that setup.
Ride height and chassis geometry changes can affect handling and fitment. Make sure your complete setup is compatible with your selected shock length.

FAQ
What's the difference between REVO and REVO-ARC shocks?
For this page, I'd focus on the REVO-ARC's externally adjustable compression and rebound damping. If you sell the regular REVO as well, this would be an excellent place to internally link to it and create a more detailed comparison.
Can I adjust the REVO-ARC shocks without tools?
Preload can be adjusted by hand. The shocks also feature external adjustment knobs for compression and rebound.
How many compression and rebound settings are there?
The REVO-ARC provides seven external compression settings and seven external rebound settings, allowing riders to fine-tune suspension behavior.
Should I order Standard or Heavy Duty?
Heavy Duty is recommended for a combined rider/passenger weight of 250 lbs. or more. Legend also recommends considering Heavy Duty if you regularly ride two-up, stunt ride, or have an aggressive riding style.
Are these available in different lengths?
Yes. FXR REVO-ARC shocks are available in 13-inch and 14-inch versions.
