It seems that every time the OL and I used to ride she would grunt every time I hit a bump. Since going to the dark side she hasn't made a peep on bumps and says the ride back there is enjoyable now.

Another plus for CT on motorcycles. Now I can buy more accesseries with my Chrome Cash.

TX-Skydiver: One thing I have noticed in other parts of the forum are complaints about stock shocks including air shocks, how bad they are. I still have my stock air shocks on my Street Glide and have no issues especially since I have the CT on the back and a rear MT run in reverse on the front. Now if I could only find a CT for the front!

But your right, the CT does make for a more comfortable ride where even little potholes are barely felt.

Dogleg1: I'm running a 205/60r16 Yokohama ENVigor on the rear.

You called it right. Car tires make for a much better / smoother ride....
