I traded in an '07 Ultra for the 14 CVO Limited which I picked up in May. After a few weeks I found that I would like it a little lower. After seeing some comments on this site, I opted for the Premium Ride Hand Adjustable Rear Shocks. They lowered the bike probably by an inch. (I also found that I can just leave the adjustment in the middle, and it worked fine for solo riding, and for riding with my wife on the back). The one inch made a huge difference. I can now get both feet flat on the ground. But not all that firmly on the ground. We just came back from a 4,500 kilometer trip around the Gaspe (passing through Trois Rivieres on Jean Baptiste Day), and there were a couple of times that I felt a little unsteady on quick stops. There was also an occasion when I was stopped and the wheels were in a rut about one inch deep. I realized that its not just the feet on the ground... but having them away from the bike a bit that gives the real support at a stop (like a tripod). (After 40 years of riding I am still learning stuff). So... I was checking this site again for that reason, and I think that when I take the bike in for its "recall" on the brake line, I am going to lower the front end by an inch with the lower cartridge. I suspect that it will make all the difference in the world - and make an already amazing motorcycle that much more comfortable to handle at stops. Clive
