“2009 harley davidson flhx (streetglide) rides excessively hard. It seems as though the rear air shocks are not working. Air pressure has been adjusted from minimum to maximum pressures with little to no change in ride quality. The implication is...at highway speeds even hitting a small bump in the road the bike tends to go airborn. The suspension is so unyielding it's creating a safety hazard for the rider and passenger. I test rode a yamaha along the same route as the harley . The difference was remarkable. The yahama absorbed the bumps and uneven pavement extremely well. …”
