Hi to All
I'm a new R.A.T. member, just picked up my 2007 Red/Black Bonnie. This bikes takes me back in time and is the perfect classic/retro/standard bike. I used to ride all over the country in the early 70's on Triumphs, Yamaha 650's and Honda 750's This new Bonnie is much improved from the old bikes with no vibration, smooth clutch, tranny etc. I'm sure the suspension is improved but it seems very harsh over even small bumps ( better have both hands on the bars and not be scracthing your chin) This is my only complaint with the bike or maybe I have become spoiled with the suspenders on my BMW and FJR. I suppose this is part of the retro feel. I didn't see any topics on replacement rear shocks, Works Steel Tracker or Ikons, and Progressive or Works frpnt fork springs. I would appreciate any comments or feedback on the suspension improvement issue.
