Default Hello to everyone

Got the jones for another bike after checking out the softail slim.
lurking around looking for info.
Have to say I'm wondering about the limited suspension travel out back. Any feed back about this or info in general would be good.

If your talking about the rear shock.. the softails have more travel than people give them credit for.
I am a big guy and ride 2up with the wife 90% of the time on our Heritage and we have to hit a really big bump to bottom out... Also remember the shocks are adjustable...

Welcome to HDF, have fun and ride safe, from Central Indiana.

Welcome to the forum from Texas.

What was your opinion about it when you test rode it?
