Suspension woes?

[okiedoc]

If you bottom out, you will get that sound...consider going to a monotone front shock... Wing Stuff sells them, from Progressive...as far as the back...I think the back is pretty good...check to make sure the setting is in the middle... Good Luck !

About the same price to have them installed !!!

I will check them out, I have not looked at the back shock. I'll have to see what it is set on.

If you run a belly pan, check for debre. Mine started to make a strange noise when the fans came on. My fans are not butter smooth when they run. Sounded worse on the left side. I had put some small wrenches and a couple of Allen wrenches in the left cubby. Removed them and the odd jingly sounds went away. As the saying goes ,in a deep base voice "what do you have in your cubbies".😎

I used to drag my belly pan on hard corners too until I bumped up the rear preload. The factory sets them at zero so the bike bottoms out. 17 clicks is half way.

How much extra height in the seat is 17 clicks?

Does anyone know why the F6B and standard Goldwing have different part numbers for the progressive monotubes.

Unfortunately... yes I get this too, but I don't think anything is wrong or broken.

If there's anything this bike doesn't do well, it's the front end on bumpy roads

Our tubes are *probably* damped a little differently

I remember a comment made by a test rider in a recent mag that compared the "Three Wings" so to speak, GW, F6B, Valk. He said if the GW or F6B had any weakness it was the outdated suspension on the front forks that did not compare to the recent BMW Touring bikes which he felt was their main competition....Ride safe

That's is what I was wondering, my X has inverted forks and are very stable

There's no extra height but less sag when you sit on the bike. Maybe an inch or so, I don't know. Depends how much you weigh.
