Front suspension
Hi y'all, does anyone know if the suspension internals on my FLHTKSE are standard internals or the premium internals, just curious, the ride seems better, comfier than my Rushmore limited, is it all down to the Hammock seat? Also I seem to remember on my 05 FLHTCSE2 the front internals was different to the standard glides of that year, being that they had the upgraded twin spring set up opposed to the single spring and cartridge set up!!
Either way I think I'm gonna have to go down the lowering route as I'm on tippy toes, with shorter shocks and the Low Profile front internals

I really do not understand your question, maybe just me.
What bike do you have? FLHTKSE? You stated "just curious, the ride seems better, comfier than my Rushmore limited", what is better, what is better than, sorry for my confusion.
The 2014 SE has a single cartridge whose internals are exactly like that of your 2005 originally. Same 20mm piston with no shims in them, just a washer & a spring.
There would be no confusion if you changed to my 30mm Ohlins cartridges for 49mm fork tubes.

Hello Howard, yes I have the 2015 FLHTKSE, and it seems a comfier ride than the 2014 Rushmore FLHTK I traded in and was wondering if it was in my head or down to the hammock heated seat, the basic question was, has the 2015 FLHTKSE (49" tubes)got the same internals as the 2014 Rushmore limited glide(also 49" tubes)? OR is the Screamin Eagle LTD got the HD premium set up?
My 2005 Screamin Eagle Electraglide FLHTCSE2 definitely came with springs in BOTH legs, NOT the cartridge system! (it was factory lowered)
Are you willing to give advice and ship to the UK should I fit Ohlins? Lots of faith in Ohlins, had em front and rear on my tricked up fireblade in my youth, lol, I also spannered for a privateer in British Superbikes in 2000 which had a Lester Harris ex Jamie Whitham GSXR 750 SRAD, which also had Ohlins, which it's suspension was looked after by KAIS in Manchester England. Suspension is a dark art and if set up correctly it's great, if NOT, it's terrible, bit like H-D rear shocks!!
