RushMore Lean Angle
I was going through the specs comparing the 2015 Limited against the 2015 CVO Limited.
I noticed the lean angle is slightly more for the CVO Limited and was wondering why.
The specs for each bike is:
Limited CVO
Seat Height Laden: 27.3 28.4 Only real difference I see
Seat Height, Unladen: 29.1 29.1 Same height there.
Ground Clearance: 5.3 5.3 Same
Right Lean Angle 31.9 34.3
Left Lean Angle 31.8 33.4
So why the difference in lean angles between the CVO and the Limited of the same year? I realize the CVO is slightly higher laden but the same height unladen though. The frames should be the same, so would the suspension be the factor in why the CVO has more of a a lean angle?

That is probably the real difference I would guess................Bout the only thing that makes sense. I was unaware of the type shock the CVO used.
Thanks.
Thanks.
