Any one know what HD did to the rear suspension on the 19 Tri Glide and Freewheeler . No real details on there web site.

 

I've been trying to get a test ride set up...may have to travel to find one that I can spend some time on.

What I know so far is they are 13" coil over shocks, and they can be adjusted by removing the seat and turning a ****. I believe it is just pre-load adjustment, no damping adjustment possible.

 

Adjusting the spring pressure from a **** under the seat would require a strong cable to do that kind of work, at least I think so. I would had like to see them with a 14" shock so they could have a softer spring to absorb the extra inch of travel. There must be some reason the MoCo don't want more travel in there shocks.

 

I did just find out the front suspension has been improved with better dampening for a smoother ride. My wife has a 16 Freewheeler and the front takes the bumps hard, I hope this new dampening system really will help.
