From one bad back to another, the PA will have you saying, "What rough road? I didn't notice."

That's what I'm hoping. Roads around here can really suck in spots.

Yep, in fact on my Tenere' and AT I often *aim* for the rough parts of the road. On my RK I do my best to miss rough sections and when it's inevitable it can't be avoided I pull up on the bars to get weight off my tailbone and cringe. I will look into Pro Action shocks.

I put the A custom mode into comfort and it feels like a 1960 Cadillac- so cushy it's still rocking 1 mile down the road after hitting a bump

I can attest to the performance on rough roads. Some of the roads in the Metro Detroit area are simply archaic. Patches filling the holes are like mounded up speed bumps. Other places there are steel plates with 2" sharp edges covering the pot holes.

I bought this Adventure Bike to handle the day to day roads around here and it is not disappointing! The PA handles it all very well.

I had Legends Arc suspension w/90# Spring on my Road Glide, the cost was over $1,500. The PAS suspension is by far a better ride than the Legends.
