Default I think I'm done with my Burly Slammer Kit

I love the way it looks but getting kinda tired of the hard ride. Anyone have input on maintaining the lower stance without going to air shocks? Maybe a little taller shock but still lower than stock and if so what brand for great ride quality?

Gracias!

Joe

I ride a WG with burlys and a le pera bare bones. Couple hours and I'm done. A good seat is the ticket.

Did the spring seat for a while before I tried the bare bones.. One of two decent pot holes and I'm done. Came home recently from a country run and immediately swapped back to stock. Far better than dealing with a Chiropractor or be on the list for a donor kidney

I thought looking cool, lowered and slammed was worth the punishing ride.
Kind of like straight pipes, sure sounds good even if you go deaf.

I have these in the 11.5 I think that is only .5 lower than stock but I feel they are a great shock for the $$. Obviously there are better shocks but they cost a lot more. They are good looking & have the IAS technology. I feel like they greatly improved the handling of my bike.

Its not punishing imo...i ride with a barebones or brawler...barebones is definitly stiff but doable...however the brawler is really really comfortable and still low pro enough for me...main thing is to avoid the potholes!!!

43 here and after 4 hours with the slammer kit I felt the best part of 93. Good excuse to pour a Jacks after a good ride though.
