Ok fellas, it's - 25 F here today with windchill. Too cold to even go tinker in the garage. Fireplace is cracklin', got a frosty hazy IPA in my hand, and I'm web surfing for suspension. Now that we've all discussed windshields, what are you all running for suspension on our RKS's?
I'm 190 lbs and the wife is 115 lbs. Ride solo 80% of the time. Prefer to buy once, cry once. Thinking Ohlins HD772 in the rear and comparable Ohlins cartridge up front? What are you running and are you happy with it?

RAD1 - I'm 225lbs and ride 90% of the time solo, but I'm short as f*** at 5'5” making it tough on me to back the girl up on an incline or loose gravel. So, I put on a Front and Rear Stealth DirtyWorks Dirty Air suspension set on. Absolutely love it! Rides baby-a** smooth and can lean deep into corners without scrapping my saddle bags. I can add or remove air on the fly with or without a passenger.

Looking to try to add the passing lights on the front.
I have a windshield and I bought those 2 pieces holder ones similar to these https://www.partsgiant.com/p395770-l...RoCs_EQAvD_BwE
They don't fit with windshield on. Anyone know of any way? I thought of trying just the stock regular/non special Road Kings bar, but didn't know if anyone had any experience with this, or even where to find one of those bars because all I can find is Ebay items or very sketchy "Universal" fit ones...

very sharp looking bike..that paint color is a perfect example of one that looks way better blacked out than chromed
