I adjusted the suspension to my weight. When I add the tour pack and my wife, I make a few adjustments to the left and it works perfectly. I have owned several Road Glides over the years, and these are the best stock shocks I have encountered. They may not be the absolute best shocks available, but they perform quite well..
@thaney423 this is my first Road Glide, but by far my favorite bike. Now that I have the suspension set where it is, it is super comfortable. Thanks for watching!
I'm very impressed with the suspension, when it gets set to your set up. Finally MOCO listened to us. Took me a few tries to get it right, the 4mm wasn't enough, so I added 10 clicks on the left and wow. I went back and did one extra turn on the right, then backed the left down to 5, and that is the sweet spot for me.
Good video.. People shouldn't be afraid to set the preload higher than Harley recommends.. I'm 200 lbs and I have a 40 lb king tour pak on my 24 Road Glide. The chart in the manual says to adjust the right shock preload to 13mm for this weight combo. That wasn't anywhere NEAR enough. I was bottoming hard on not so big bumps. I kept cranking up the preload and found the best ride was at 30mm. I also have the left shock set to 14 turns, (for 60 lbs of luggage)..
Well they stuck with the two pogo sticks on the back once again-the Indian pursuit rode phenomenal but Harley’s are smoother there’s no doubt about that

It is definitely an improvement once the set up is correct for each person. Thanks for watching!
