Default new suspension

just had the front suspension redone with new springs and tightened up the rears
man it's a new ride
whoever had the bike before had the rears as soft as possible
and the front you could bottom out just by leaning hard on it
lookingforward to a long ride now to check it out

Default RE: new suspension

&nbsp\\;I'm looking at changing the shocks and front fork oil on my BOB. I have heard the change&nbsp\\;to the ride is like night and day. The thing with my suspension is when riding a wide turn on the highway,I catch a bump,and the back wheel feels like it jumps out 5-6". -Not a good feeling! I adjusted the preload tight and tried it soft there isn't much difference.. Damn the $ we pay for these machines HD should at least put good suspension on them[:@]
