WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
The LegUp GEN II system is typically set up at the factory for the height of your bike. The
system is VERY height dependent! If after testing the initial installation, the bike does NOT feel
stable, the wheel system MAY need to be adjusted to the height of your bike. AGAIN, we
normally ask at order time if your bike is at stock height and we set the system up for whatever
height you have furnished us. DO NOT make any changes unless the stability we expect is NOT
present! If you feel you need to adjust the height/length of the wheel holders, please read this
ENTIRE section before starting the process. If you need help, please contact Chopper Design
at 407-834-5007.
If you are happy with how stable the bike feels, you can skip this section, and move on to a test
ride! If you are not sure, or you skipped ‘maintenance mode’ as instructed, a good test is to
bring the wheels down, put the kickstand down, and lean (or try to) the bike on its kickstand
while sitting on the bike. If the bike comes back to center without your help, or you put your
feet on the boards and can bring the bike up by just leaning to the right; move on to the next
section (Test Ride), the wheel settings are fine!
The stability of the GEN II LegUp system, relies on the
pneumatic actuator, when deployed, being at an angle
that is forward of perpendicular for best results!
Different bikes are at different heights, and Chopper
Design uses an ingenious method to adjust the length of
the supporting legs to maximize the stability it affords.
Typically, we will send the ‘Leg Assemblies’ set up for
the bike you told us you had. We have three different
‘Standard’ setups for the Harley Touring bikes.
Standard FL Height, Street Glide and other bikes using the Harley lowered shocks, and the new
‘Ultra Low’ models.
The first picture (above) shows the setup for standard height
Harleys. The boards are set in the highest position, the wheel
holder is set with the strap facing up and the small bolts set in the
second and fourth hole from the back of the leg (Notice curve of
wheel holder). This is how we should have sent the legs to you if
you told us you bike was at stock height!
At left, we see a setup for a Street Glide or other bikes with the
Harley Lowered shocks. The small bolts are again set in the 2
nd
and 4
th
holes from the back, and the strap that holds the wheel
holders together is on the bottom of the leg. You can tell because
