It is not difficult to make Softails ride like a Cadillac. Super Glides, Road Kings, and Softails all have about the same 4 inches of suspension, both front and rear.
The problem is they all come setup for a soft ride for a single 160 lbs rider.
Bottom line:
What is your normal load weight?
Do you have the money for Shotgun Air Shocks?
Is ride height adjustment important?
