2006 1200C Sporster Ride

"everyone knows stock shocks on Sporsters are terrible ."
OP - After 5 Sportsters and 60K miles how come I don't know that nor agree with that opinion at all. 11 XL1200C Low, 03 883R, 09 XR1200, 14 XL1200T Superlow and a 16 XL1200 Roadster.
All ride and handle great. My 77 year old decrepit arthritic body has no problem riding them around the North American Continent.
Or then maybe your Sporsters is a different brand of bike than my Sportsters.

big bumps nearly bucked me off
I now have Progressive 430s with standard springs and do get sag and can freely adjust preload. These work much better for my weight.
With either I can't say my ride was or is a bone shaker.
