Through the Rhön with Wilbers
Hello,
After our return from Rome last Sunday, we were both "hot" for a nice motorbike tour through the Rhön, so we were able to test the new chassis together for the first time on about 200km in bright sunshine. Here is the promised feedback:
The total package is worth every penny!
Great comfort, yet full road holding and significantly more ground clearance when driving; there is also an increase in handling.
As you have pointed out, the comfort gain is even greater when operating with a pillion passenger than when using the bike alone - but there is also a class-leading level of comfort when operating alone.
After an intense round of cornering (spirited and with great lean angles), my wife got off the Harley with a smile for the first time – thank you!
I propose that Wilbers becomes the original equipment manufacturer for all Harley touring models!
One of these days, I’ll send a letter to Motorrad magazine sharing my experience. After all, it was their test report back then that first made me aware of your system!
And great work should also be talked about!
Kind regards from the Rhön,
Dieter
Drastically changed handling
Today, I rode my Low Rider S 117 to Nordhorn. It was a 200 km journey.
The welcome was very warm, and I even got to meet the boss. I was totally impressed. At the ‘cash register’ was the very friendly daughter of the Wilbers family.
A real family business.
I got my bike back after about two hours.
I had progressive springs and Wilbers oil put in the fork and the Nivomat in the rear.
On the way back, my bike felt completely different.
Of course, I hit every drain cover, every railway crossing and every pothole.
The handling was dramatically different.
I then deliberately took the worst road I know, the one between Hude and Berne.
I almost became a little too careless because I felt so safe.
Sorry, I have to describe it in such detail because the impressions are still fresh.
There is a descent to the Weser tunnel that I have always enjoyed riding at at least 100 km/h on at least seven bikes.
There is a bump in the curve where ALL of my bikes have previously swayed, lurched or wobbled.
Today I thought... oh, have they repaired it?
So, as you can tell, I'm thrilled.
As someone with back problems, I sometimes wonder if the health insurance company could make an additional payment 🙂.
One last anecdote: I asked if the company could send the removed shock absorber to my home by post.
Please add it to the invoice.
It's coming in the post and it's a service, not an invoice.
These are my fresh impressions and the day was just great.
...even without an additional payment from the health insurance company.
Thanks to the Wilbers team!!!
Regards, Mario
You have given me quality in life
Hello everyone,
My Ultra Glide Standard 2020 was a swinging box right from the start, and when driven fast, "wobbly" without ending.
Something had to be changed! My "old" Street Glide from 2007 had the better suspension (Air-Ride, original Harley).
But it was out of the question for me, because with these Thai roads I would have been pumping all the time.
After my research, I came across the Wilbers suspension. Two or three times I called, after which even your
The staff member on the phone said that the Wilbers Nivomat system is actually the "jack of all trades device".
Well, the decision was made quickly and shortly afterwards the whole chassis arrived in Thailand.
Just before the motorbike season starts in November.
It was installed very quickly and the instructions were perfect.
After the first 20 km test ride, I could hardly believe that a Harley could glide so smoothly over the bumps of Thai roads. So the next day, I went straight on a big tour — through hills and valleys, highways and country roads — 560 km in total.
I can still hardly believe that I have a completely different bike. The way back was then a real pleasure, as the confidence was now really there in the new chassis.
A top speed of 180–200 km/h (riding a 124 CUI from Zippers with Thundermax) was pure pleasure — straight-line stability like riding on rails, completely steady. And now, even leaning into corners until the footboards scrape is possible without any nasty surprises.
I’d like to sincerely thank you for the excellent suspension you’ve developed — you’ve truly given me a better quality of life.

Finally a pleasure to ride my Harley
Good afternoon,
I wanted to thank you for the problem-free delivery.
I installed the Nivomat chassis before Easter and was able to test it over the Easter holidays.
The chassis is totally convincing, it is now finally a pleasure to ride my Harley.
Your developers have done a great job.
I will definitely recommend the suspension to others!
Kind regards,
Daniel from Cologne
