GP Front Suspension on my Road Glide!

What spring rate you running?

DefaultYes, it is definitely much more sporty. On your setup both front and rear, how much have you deviated from the baseline setup that GP / Ohlins provided? I am at 6 turns of preload and 14 clicks on compression and rebound. I can only adjust pre-load in the rear and now I am thinking I may want the same adjustability in the rear.

My bagger is also a 16. Just FYI, a big bang for the buck improvement on handling was upgrading to a 18 and 19 wheel combo. I personally dig the timeless classic of the Talons of last gen specials.

Braces that tie the engine and trans to the frame solidly. Currently your swingarm is isolated by rubber bushings / motor mounts and can flex pushed hard. No biggie if you're a cruiser, but when pushed hard and fast they can start to wobble. Im currently running front and rear true tracks and a 3rd alloy art top rear brace and poly engine mounts. This was my last tire swap on my bagger... I enjoy ripping the mountains....
Great looking bike!

I decided to install the GP 25mm Cartridges on my RGS. I am blown away at the increase in performance and overall handling. The transformation has FAR exceeded my expectations. I rode 300 miles this weekend and have not adjusted, as it feels great with the base preload and dampening settings. Riding one of my long-traveled local canyon roads, it felt like I was on a completely different bike. I am not an overly aggressive rider, at least I wasn't, but I find myself effortlessly pushing the bike much harder and having a blast. I mainly do long-distance touring, and the overall ride is also much improved. I have SuperShox 14" premium in the rear. Now with the front dialed in, I was able to back off the preload setting; the overall balance is much better now, and I am at the correct preload for my weight according to the chart provided by Super Shox. Overall, well worth the investment.
