Yeah, It's taking some messing around with getting the shocks dialed in for me as well. Been messing with my '11 for a couple of weeks trying to find the sweet spot for me, loaded down and me, two up and loaded down and two up. I love the shocks for the ride, but they are sensitive.

Great looking bike!

The new frame bikes do rely much more on the shocks being dialed in.  I run 30psi solo and 50psi two up seems to work good.  
The lower profile tires with the bigger wheels are not as forgiving as the old skinny 16 inchers were but I would never go back.  

Your bike looks awesome!

I swear....I'm either going to move to Florida...or San Diego....I'm hating on you as I look out my window this morning lol.  That gorgeous blue sky in the background makes my stomach turn as I look forward to 9 months of rain in this crap weather state....our summer showed up in July and left in August....../sigh

Ok...got that off my chest....now the bike....STUNNING  :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21:

The '11s don't have the air input anymore. They finally went back to coil springs with an adjustable knob on the left side. Biiiiig difference compared to the air shocks on my '06.

Yeah still getting use to the lower profile tire ride, just a different feel. Also my first time with Nitrofill. Still undecided on that, always been happy with my own air compressor.

Absolutely mind blowing pics - my new screensaver! Thanks a bunch for posting such high quality great shots. I won't see my orange beastie until early next year by my reckoning, but shots like these makes the wait bearable.
Cheers
Glen

The bike is beautiful, but why would anyone wash a motorcycle with the vinyl/leather seat on it. To easy to remove and ages to fast when soaked repeatedly. But the bike is amazing.

I've owned alot of Harleyes and never had to take my seat off to wash it and never wore out

How do you keep area under the seat clean if you never took a seat off? Strange to me, I clean EVERYTHING every time I wash the bike, at least once week, but I do notice that most people are not as anal as me judging by the other bikes I see around. To each his own.

I've taken the seat off to clean under it ,but should not have to take seat off to wash the bike or get caught in the rain ,problem with the seat.
