Good to know. I have progressives front and rear, but I am still a little wallowy over bumps, if that makes sense. I think some firmer fork oil will then allow me to adjust the rears up more and ballence the bike better, ya know?



I kind of figured I was going to give up some handling when I went with the long wheel base, and rake of the cruiser. Better damping, and spring rates can only do so much to improve The TBA/SM's road manners. My very first impressions from the first 100 miles were kind of disappointing, what with the pogo stick action my warped front brake rotor gave my spongy front end, and a reluctance for the bike to hike down in to a corner with out me making it do it. A new front rotor, some air in the tires, (PO had them too low), a firmer front fork, some different riding technique, and the OL TBA is starting to feel much more solid in the turns. I have a feeling it will always feel a little more "wallowie" than a standard, but it's a fine cruising machine.
