My '08 Crossbones with about 4500 miles on it bottums out when I grab on the front brakes hard or even semi hard depending on if I hit a small bump. Has anyone else experinced this. I would much rather stiffen the front end my only other option in putting the standard inverted fork on there. And so you know I am 6'2/ 210 pounds.
2400 miles on my xb, i am 6'1" 250lbs, and my front end has NEVER bottomed out, not even in a pothole. something is wrong i would guess, if yours bottoms out all the time..
If it was my spring-hair would be online or at the dealership buying me a service manual so I could service the fvcker myself. It can just be busted. Certainly there is an adjustment to put more preload on those springs? Pretty straightfoward design, coupla springs and a damper shock....
If you ever tire of the springer? PM me I'm a buyer!!!!
My XB has a similar problem but in the back. My license plate and holder hits my rear tire when I hit a bump. Dealer said it might be a suspension issue. Bringing it in this weekend.
