Oh ya, how was Leesburg? I assume you went.

The Leesburg Bikefest trip was a blast, but at 300,000 bikes it has really gotten to big. It was pretty hard trying to make your way down the streets even on foot. I went with the "FL Crew" that hangs and plans rides in the "Members Meeting Members" section.
LOL, I figured it would be crowded. I made it down there many years ago when the wife and I had hired a guide to take us fishing on the lakesaround Inverness. Wasn't so crowded in those days.

For a 275lb rider, would you all go standard duty, or heavy duty? I'm trying to decide, and got mighty confused reading the thread.

I think if your goung to stay with the stock length on your Roadster, the standard duty 412's will do you fine. Please keep in mind, everyone has a different idea on how they like the ride. My preference is a more cusioned ride, so I like the softness of the standard duty. I weigh 270.

I weigh about 200 and went with the heavy duty 412's and keep it on the second settings. It feels perfect to me.
