Default Burly Slammer Preload
For those with the Burly Slammer Kits on their bikes I'm wondering where you all have your preload set at for your size and weight? I just put the kit on my Street Bob and love the look. Thanks everyone.

At 165#, I would keep mine on the lowest setting when riding solo... When riding 2 up, approx. 200# I would crank it up to the fourth setting to keep from scraping the pipes..

Thank you. I'm 210# and have it on the 3rd setting. I'll prob try to soften it a click or two. I'll be riding solo 90% of the time. Just trying to find that sweet spot, without bottoming out and damaging something.

If you are at 165 solo....you are at 200 combined ??

I am close to 3 bills and I've got mine set at 2.

Was able to go on a ride today, and this was the money spot for me too. Thanks for your help guys. Ok so I gotta go grind on my kickstand, now that I'm happy with it.
