Shock's Suck
« on: May 07, 2005, 01:26:20 AM »
How could HD put such a lousy set of shocks on the bike, I've been riding a new RKC with 440's and it rides like a dream compared to the yellow screamin chicken, air shocks suck.
This week the air shocks are history, nuff said on the subject.

I did fail to mention same highway within a half hour time frame both bike's.

Got the call yesterday from a Ferman store that a deal fell thru "do you want the bike" I said MSRP "he said they want 32K but if you take it home today msrp" no problem be there in one hour.
The sales guy knew I had cash and it would be a done deal no worries for him about financing.  

While I was in his office someone called giving him a rash of BS about not getting the bike, oh well.

Congrats on the new ride.  

I have the Progressive 12" Standard Duty (weigh about 165) version on mine...I have found them a worthwhile upgrade from the air shocks, highly recommend them.  Bike has a tighter feel in turns and more stable ride on the highway.  And no more bottoming out on railroad tracks, etc.  

If you make it down Sarasota way some time, give me a ping.  See ya out there.
