[Savoir-Faire]

I agree with Rowdy. I'm a big guy and it made a big difference to me. I'm in Chicago and the city roads can be pothole conventions 9 months of the year, and coupling that with being 6'2" - 225lbs, I bottomed out te front end more than a couple times.

I'm on a 2006 and I imagine that the lower Road Glide Customs (and the Street Glides) won't feel as big a benefit because they have less suspension travel to work with in the first place. That extra inch and half of travel is a LOT when you're bottoming it out.

I used H-D Heavy Fork oil and it worked great. You can make your own fork seal driver by taking an appropriate diameter PVC pipe and cutting a + or x from one end into the pipe some distance lengthwise. This way you can bend the ends in to fit inside the walls of the fork tube, and then strike that with a hammer to drive your seals in safely. Beats spending the money for the special tools...
