Handling
Shocks ? Progressive or Works
Fork springs ? // True-Track ?
What is the best bang for the money ?
I live in Saratoga Ca. Hwy. 9 up to Hwy 35 to Alpine Rd.
Google these roads, my 2007 FLHX needs at least 1 of the upgrades..
Thanks for your help

RE: Handling
Used to live in Cupertino/Sunnyvale and rode that area hundreds of times.
I have yet to have a problem on my bikes or friends that required a rear end stabilizer.
I don't ride as aggressively as I used to so stock suspension is adequate.
However, I would like the front stiffened up a bit.
Others will tell you that new shocks and fork springs make it a whole different experience.

Iride the Harley hard ,I had to replace my floorboards, from hitting the ground so much..the dealer said to back off the throttle before the bike kills me.... Most of my buddys who ride Harley's who never rode a Honda, think I need to just slooow down as well...
I figured there must be a way to make this bike handle just a little better...

RE: Handling
[/quote] You want the ultimate combo? Traxxion Dynamics AK-20 Catridges for the front forks, Bitubo 3 way adjustable rear shocks (from Traxxion Dynamics) on the rear, and Ride str8 or equivalent if needed. You will be AMAZED!! Nothing else can compare, and that is the truth, but you've got to spend some money to get there. IMO, don't waste your money/time/labor on replacing the front springs and putting heavier oil in the forks...it will make it stiffer, and take away the bottoming out, but if you want a responsive front end, Traxxion simply cannot be beaten by anything on the market...period.

RE: Handling
I just fitted progressive fork springs to my 2007 flht$. Its a different bike to ride the front end doesent dive under brakes anymore and it flys through the corners. I find myself hanging of the bike putting that much of a strain on the rubbermounts its realy flexing the rear wheel now.The ride str8 is next on the list as I love to push my bikes hard. I run 25 to 30 psi in the rear shocks with the firmer forks. You will be surprised how much better they handle with the progressive fork springs
