Hi all
I have a 2011 V7 classic. I find the rear suspension much too "firm", Every single little bump seems to ricochet through my body. Sometimes I am even "launched" off my seat.
Can anyone recommend which rear shock absorbers I can install to get a more comfortable ride? I am not too concerned about cornering ability as I am not a "knee down" fast type of rider.
Here is a photo of the current rear shock. It is a "sachs", I assume that is the original that came with the bike?
Also - looking at the photo is the pre-load adjusted in the right place? Would that make any difference to how firm the ride?
I weigh 10.5 stone (147 lbs)
I am in the UK
thanks
