That's probably very true!

yes, this is exactly why im asking. She is very unhappy with the ride. Plus I have a king tour pack now that adds to the weight. The stock air shocks are horrible. She cant stand hitting a hard bump in the road.

There is a simple solution! We have an HDF sponsor in Howard of Motorcycle Metal, who will build the two of you a pair of Ohlins shocks, with the correct springs and dampers. You will be amazed at the improved ride, just as Mrs B was - and still is. They ain't cheap, however Howard offers members a discount. I recommend you give him a call.
