Howdy all.

I am fairly certain that everyone here finds front suspension on Street Bob to be barely adequate for normal Ozzie roads. Mine consistently bottoms out (especially when riding over uneven surface). If I even think of touching the front brake while riding over the irregular surface, the suspension just can't cope. Both compression dumping and rebound are way below adequate.

Has anyone done anything about it? What works and what doesn't? All I want is better quality ride, especially over the irregular surfaces.

 

Cheers

Racetech springs and gold valve emulators in me Fatbob ,Good results ,add good quality fork oil ,Motul ,shell ect

Progressive springs and std fork oil will sort it out.
Thats what I run on mine and it is adequate.
You could spend more and make it even better if ya wanted.

hogbag07 where did ya get the springs from, $120 is a good price thanks pat

PD valves are another option similar to intim or gold valves
better springs is always good, but it is, to my mind, the rod dampening that lets the whole show down

$165 for me including  postage from proven

$150 hoey adelaide

maybe i should just diet

 

 

I've got a Racetech front end kit coming some time next week. I've read through the US forums and they're highly recommended. Will let ya know how they go.

Hey Gents, thanks for all your comments here.
I ended up gettings a set of progressive fork springs and Harley heavy fork oil. Did the change over myself, no major issues here.
The improvement is certainly remarkable considering the relatively modest expense. I might decide to take it further and install racetech gold valve emulators.
Will see how I go over the next few weeks.

dont forget the arse the stock shocks arent great either

Already taken care of it andij.

Got Progressive 440's at the rear.

Who sells the Gold valve emulators? I wouldn't mind giving them a go.
I don't mind spending if it handles a bit better.
Anyone got Ohlins shocks on their Dyna??

Yeah have read it and it didn't have any info about where to get the Gold emulators just ikon at the same business address you supplied
Thanks for the info.
