My harley dealership has set up the suspension on my CR and to be honest its set up like one of those 2 ton electra glides, with feet of travel in the fork, so soft that the fork bottoms out when breaking hard. It setup like a harley, so so so soft and useless. Pathetic that these dealerships are not better educated in selling top end sports bikes like the Buell. And we're talking the biggest dealership in Denmark, they should know what they were doing right? Enough ranting, does any of you have a good suspension set up for hard road use and a bit of stunting? |

Just follow the numerous guides out there for properly setting the sag, and then the damping to your skill level and riding style. |

It just so happens that right now there's a good Fuell article on suspension setup on the Buell website: http://www.buell.com/en_us/experience/fuell/ |

The suspension tuning chart in your owners manual is also a good starting point. |
