The ride quality isn't as good as it could be and the roads in the city sure don't help. I was also going to change to progressive shocks in the rear...i'll check out the fork brace as well. Thanks.

I also put road king air shocks on the rear. Bought them for just over 100 on ebay. Only thing you need to be carefull of is the height of the shocks - I think you need 12.5" eye to eye but dont quote me on that one. They come in a million different sizes.

Funny you posted this. I just came from a ride through downtown. Stock Sportster shocks were NOT made for T.O. roads.

Drop me an email anytime at izey@rogers.com - we'll go out for a cruise around town. I live right around Spadina and Front - would be great to meet some other "sportsters"...

A fork brace should be a mandatory part for Sportsters, its a night and day difference.
Not just for big bumps, but lumpy high speed curves etc, also keeps the bike from tracking so much.
I like the Screamin Eagle brace myself.
