Good to know! maybe HD used heavier oil, better damper, or better springs in 2016. we won't know until the parts catalog is updated.

But I use at least some rear brake at the same time when braking. In a panic situation, down shifting also helps if combined with brakes.

I installed a set of Progressive 422 rear shocks, they allow you to lower the bike as well. I have it dropped a bit less than 1.5". I don't like how it rides 2-up at all. It is "acceptable" 1-up, but I'm still not that thrilled.

I told you she has to take the bus !!!Anyway sounds like you are not satisfied with that upgrade......any idea what you should have done instead ?
About the BCT baffles, would I have to tune the bike again if I install them ?
Cheers

for suspension I was hoping by now that either Ohlins or Progressive would have come out with their "planned" new softail shocks. but nothing yet. so my only present good option are Shotgun Shocks. They seem to ride very well everything I have read on them, but I don't like paying a premium high price for an air suspension with up/down button that I will never use.

As soon as my wife gets her own, I will either probably lower it with a cheap kit, or adjust for travel to the loest possible setting. I don't weigh much. 155lbs after dinner
