My 2 Valks are pretty different rides. I'd dare to say drastic. But, that's me. I like my Standard. The wife likes the IS. So I set the STD up solo, and no BS. Bike, and Leatherlyke bags, and that's it.
Hey Jabba,
I added an oversized passenger backrest, flip-up passenger armrests, passenger floorboards, and a gel seat pad to try to make my Tourer more comfortable for my wife, but she still complained about the hard ride and lack of comfort, so I added a Wing to the stable to keep her happy on the long rides. However, I'd still like for her to go with me on the Valk on the shorter rides. I've heard the IS rides better than the Std and Tourer. Are there changes I can make to make the Tourer ride better? I've heard Progressive shocks can help, but when I looked at a site that carried them, there were so many different ones, I gave up trying to figure out which would be better. Any suggestions on further changes I can make to improve the ride?
