Enjoying a Chamber of Commerce evening with the missus on the porch. Lighting, music and some cool drinks. All the things Bob can’t do living with the Russians.

Rode the bike to a meeting. A world of difference in ride quality.

Yes, Progressive springs and Ricor Intiminators. The chrome only added 5 HP.

Blows your mind doesn't it? Stock Harley suspension flat out sucks. For $30,000 to $50,000 motorcycles it's damn ridiculous.

I put Ohlins on my rear on the Ultra Limited, and can dial it in for solo, 2 up and 2 up loaded down. Front suspension I went with Pro Action because Coz talked me into it and they were way cheaper than Ohlins front springs set up. I've had back surgery and it's a beautiful thing to haul *** down a rough highway and not get beat to death.

When you see a picture of front forks blown up and all the pieces you think holy ****, but when you dig in and take it apart there's nothing to it....
