What to do? I weight around 150 lbs, can I run more air in the shocks or do I save for some really good coilovers. Your opinions and experience on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
and here I thought I was the only one complaining about the FW ride!
Of all the things I dislike the most about my FW is the ride.
I believe I have tried almost everything...$$$
New Mustang seat..... ProPad gel insert...Legend shocks front and rear....
the backrest helped the most...
But... still unacceptable ride... sometimes bucks me up off the seat... and I'm not talking about hitting crater sized chuck holes.
I have had several dealers ride the FW, and everytime the answer is "it is what it is" a straight axle buckboard.
The only solution offered is the $10,000 upgrade to the independent suspension.
IMHO, the HD engineers and marketing gurus should be taken out to the woodshed.
OBTW this is not my first M/C and no, I don't expect a Cadillac SUV ride... it's not about comfort for me...it's about the FW's inability to handle bumps, cracks, bridge overpasses on the highway... here in Chicago, on I-55, every 100 yards there are road "bumps"... across the full lanes... each one rattles my teeth and bucks me up...
Oh well.... it is what it is.
