Did you try the progressive springs with the Intimidators? IMO the Progressive standard or heavy duty are far better that stock springs.

I contacted Ricor and asked them what springs they recommend and they prefered the stock springs. The intimnators really firm up the stock springs, Progressives may be too stiff. They are a inertial damper and can tell the difference between a bump and hitting the brakes. Soft for the bump and stiff for the brakes.

I have done hours of research on this and as we all know harley has a very inferior suspension, actually it's terrible. All the above mentioned will definately improve the ride signifigantly. I personally choose Race Tech gold valve and Ohlins rear shocks on my bagger and shotgun air ride on my softy and will also be going with Race Tech up front on it.

You add 10mm of fork oil (same as you have) to the existing fork oil height at a time. Try it out than after a few trys than adjust to taste. This is called adjusting the air spring. This only increases the value of resistance (logarithmically) at the top end of the stroke. The same resistance you are trying to improve. Below is the result of different oil heights using the same 30mm Ohlins valving on a shock dyno. The only thing that changes is the oil height. It is necessary to think what you are doing and read about a subject first than do.
