Went on a 50 mile ride with the wife today. I set the front at 7lbs (I have progressives) and 42 in the rear. On the highway, which was pretty bumpy, it felt like the rear shock was bottoming out. I have the damper set normally at position 3. Now the bags are on but basically empty. The wife & I weigh a total of 345 Lbs and I had a 1/2 a tank of gas. The system is holding pressure & not leaking. On flat ground I don't feel an issue only when I hit bumps & not massive potholes either. So is this a normal feel? Even though the shock has air could it be worn out? The bike oly has 15K miles -
On my Mt. Washingtion trip - which turned into 3200 miles (My kind of touring, you know) I encountered some ferocious roads. Quite often when I hit a bump, I hear a pronounced clunk - it is not bottoming out as that sounds and feels different. Comes from the front - rather loud - any ideas what it could be?

Question for those with highway lights and lowered front end. Do you have any problems with the lowers (plexi wings) hitting? I also plan on putting a spacer on the light bar to move it away from the faring and this will lower it some also. I broke one side bottoming out and am making replacements so I can make them shorter. Thanks Rod 2 days to Utah trip and the bike is in pieces, but they are clean.
