Default No more, I say No More crap suspension on my 1200!

Both the front and rear suspension on my 1200 is so bad, compared to what I'm used to, that I will get custom hand build Hyperpro suspension front and back. Expensive but the very best. The rear well also be 3 cm higher. With the far better shocks I'll expect decent cornering, finally!

Last week I took my wife for a ride and riding was almost impossible, no way the shocks can handle anything more than, well, 60 kilo's or so. I really can believe HD sells crap like that. I mean, this is not a cheap bike!

Anyway, 3 weeks waiting but hey, I don't mind cause I’ll get progressive springs with a new shim stack and different oil at the front and 2 of these (similar) beauties at the rear!
