Hey guys, do HD touring bikes tend to hit pretty hard on the front end ? My 05 Ultra is smooth as butter down the highway, but hits really solid on certain bumps, mostly at lower speeds. Dont see any signs of bad seals ( leaking ) and feels fairly firm with the front brake applied. Only had the scoot about 6 months so not familiar will all the characteristics. Appreciate any input

 

my 2005 ultra does the same ,, I adjusted the head bearings 2 nothches and it seam to help a little ,, gonna put my progressive monotubes in this weekend and see what that does

Thank you sir. Assuming that you are lowering the front, do you have to lower the rear as well ?

 

nope keeping it stock height

 

Since you bought the bike used, you don't know what type of fork oil the po used, or if it ever had the fork fluid changed. Thats would be where I would start. Cheap and easy things first.,,,

 

Good info BIG. Thank you
