Mine was a little to. But then I adjusted the preload
and it was fine.

let me clarify....for ME, the softtail was too "squishy".

But, I am pretty big...

I never could get mine "just right", hence why I went for the Low Rider. Wasted money again...lol!

I am old, fat, and a "putt-putt" kinda guy, therefore the bagger.

by the way Crazy...that's a FINE RIDE YA GOT!

Thanks Jimbo!!
I love that Street Glide To. Very nice color. No
putt-putt there my friend. The thing with my preload
is I have the tension set as tight as it goes which is
for a 300lbsload approx. And I only weigh 185lbs. The
thing is "almost" like riding a rigid. That's more likely
why I get no squishiness.

I hear you on the weather. Think of it as down time
to put the mods on. Works for me.
