Seems I am right on the edge of regular and HD .....

2003 Speedy - currently weigh 260lbs + gear, but losing.... but even when I reach my hopeful goal weight.... I will probably be still 210-220 + gear. I almost never ride 2-up.... if at all.

My goal is a better ride, trying to absorb the Frost Heaves on our lovely NJ roads... I honestly dont think the bike rides bad now..... but the bone-jarring bumps suck.....

I have read everything I can between the BA and the RAT forums...... seems the 412's would be enough..... but quite a few comments say the the 412's just dont help the bone-jarring stuff too much. So must I go to the 440's to help with the stupid Frost Heaves?

I will also say...... I am a recreational rider...... average miles per year is maybe 2000miles.... thats it. So if I dont need to spend the money on the 440's that would be nice...... but if I have to..... I have to.

.

So... 412, 412HD, 440????
