Harsh Ride

[phoenixtexoma]

Hello all: just got my new Frankie Sportster, and was wanting to know how to soften the ride, particularly the rear. It's really harsh right now. Any tips sincerely welcome.

Tony, what tire pressure are you running in your rear tires? You will get the softest ride from running your rear tires at 20lbs. Also, adjust you shock preload to the lowest setting.
