I'm thinking the owners handbook for the 09 Streetglide is in error. I picked up my bike last year and the ride was terrible on the Maine frost heaves. It had 12 psi in it from the dealer. I run 25 psi single rider and 45 psi two up. I weigh 210 and wifey is at 140.
The frost heaves are painful for my wife - a big unexpected "SLAM". I'm seriously thinking about changing to a progressive shock but don't know which one yet. Maybe the new Ultra shock

I've been thinking about a set of 12.5" Progressive 412's. I'm willing to spend around $200 but I do not want to spend $500-$600 on Ohlins, Ricor or the higher end Progressives althogh I haven't ruled them out completely.

I would think that the lowest psi without bottoming out would yield the best ride?
