Is the handling of a Softail Springer good?
The handling is very good for a softail. The ride is somewhat unusual. The front suspension is very compliant, soaks up the bumps. But the rear is stiff, and I have the shocks cranked to it’s softest setting. The first mods that I would go for is the aircleaner, jet kit (or programming) and pipes.
