My wife and i bought a 05 electraglide cvo last year and it is the roughest riding bike i have ever owned. What can i do to help we are up to 45 lbs in the shocks and still rough. We are losing our minds thinking about trading. Any help would be appreciated.

 

The more air you put in the shocks the ROUGHER the ride! ( I run 15 lbs.)

 

I realize that, tried that and at 20lbs we were bottoming out and that was not fun.

 

there is a cvo web sight i belong to these guys live and breath these bike
i know i have a 2011

 

How many miles on the bike? Throw a new set of shocks on it.

 

If your shocks are bottoming out with 20 pounds, it sounds like your shocks are shot. I had a friend that had the same problem, even though he was not loosing air in the shocks, he was bottoming out, no matter what he had for air. He finally replaced the shocks and it was like a new bike.

 

+1... been there, done that!

 

I thought 20lb was the max pressure for that year of shock ? 40 should blow
the seals.

 

Thanks i will try new shocks, i have 41000 on it. Would you go with factory shocks.

 

A website by guys who know would be a help all around - does the website have a name?
