Default What Suspension ????????

I know this has been spoken about before but now with some new suspension kits out there what kits are people putting on their rides.

Looking for a kit for my Heritage.Obviously the Legends are an option but heard mixed reviews on them.Then there is the SAS air ride system that sounds good but quite pricey and have not heard any rider reviews on them.

Then Progressive have lots of different types but which one .They have a new 812 series.Obviously ride quality and the ability to drop the back end for bar-hopping and raise the back end for cruising is important.

Cheers all.

Thanks Dinger but just not real happy with that rear end stance.Want to be able to play around and slam it when needed and raise it when needed.I know thats a bit **** but thats just me i suppose.

Appreciate the kind words.

BOTM is a bit of fun if nothing else.But there are some awesome rides in there and my scoot is a work in progress (as most are) so i am not kidding my self.Flattered to be nominated but as far as winning ................

Win,lose or draw, i am happy with my ride and it puts a smile on my dial every time i throw a leg over it so thats the main thing.

Look forward to the pics when you can. HAGWE.
