Gen 4 to Gen 5 Fitment. ( Cover & Torsion Springs)

[Sleds R Fun]

2 Questions for those that have their Gen 5:
- How does the Gen 4 travel cover fit on the Gen 5? ( does it fit nice or is it loose)
- Anyone know if the rear torsion springs are the same as the Gen 4?
Thanks in advance.

I installed my fat boy springs from my 2021 expert 165 on my 2023 expert 165 also put the spring spacers in all fit. the spring spacers are a tight fit but soapy water and tap tap with a dead blow on and not coming off

Great news! My G5 Expert arrived and was picked up today. I can confirm the G4 cover fits excellent. Just make sure the back upper part of cover (rear seat area) is pulled tight with the thin bungee otherwise it will flap.

Can you provide links and summary of the far boy springs and spacers? I am 260 and concerned about factory sag

This is what I used in my Gen 4, sounds like it fits the Gen 5 also. Not sure on the spring rate.

Look up that chart. Doesn't say GEN5 but stock GEN4 was 1.27 80 deg I ran 1.5 90, so 18% stiffer, 10 deg less preload. The recommended 1.6 80 deg are really stiff. Better make the front end stiffer too at the same time of balance will be off.
