Have read a fair amount on this and kind of conclude that it is all over the place and not to many people agree on what works best for what weight, rider... I just lowered w/the Lower Wings 1" lowering link and dropped the front 1/2". From what I seam to have read, the preload adjustment from the factory is set at about 1, harsh for some, not others. I am coming off a '90 Harley fl, have lowered vehicles and like my ride a little stiffer, I think I should leave it were it is at, at least till I get a chance to ride it. lol Any thoughts
