not impressed with SGS suspension. anyone else??
so I got about 500 miles on my '14 special now and I have to say the suspension especially the front does not feel up to par. I have had it bottom out multiple times now and it fells very bumpy/chattery on certain roads, was wondering if anyone else has found the same thing. bikes rides great when the roads are like glass but those are hard to find
additional info-tires are aired correctly, me with gear about 220-230lbs, rear shock I have set to that weight. bike is bone stock, this is my first Harley came off of sport bikes and metric cruisers

To bad the Rushmore project did not include a smoother ride. About the only thing that has always bothered me about my 11 King was the poor stock ride. I don't expect my new 14 King to ride any better.
Maybe over time the Rushmore thing will get around to making them ride smoother. I cant bring my self to spend $1000 for a nice ride.
All of my Harley's have had a bit to stiff of ride for me, but I still love them.
