But why the 150 rear on the new SB, Slim and Heritage. It looks so skinny from behind contrasting a fairly wide stance.

Sweet bike, my buddies that have the M8's love them (baggers).

Out of the new softails yours is at the top of my preferential list.

I am in that "older group" and prefer old school (hate change, looks wise).


Were is the rear mono shock adjustment?

Enjoy and ride safe

Its on the Shock itself under the seat on the Heritage. And you have to use a tool.

I wondered about that too. I thought they
had gone back to the 130.
I run a 140 on the rear of mine. Looks wider,
but the rr/fender on a 2000 is narrower
