 Ultimate Comfort Mods

 

Comfort is a must when riding

Being Comfortable & Safe Go Together, Hand in Hand.

 

Being comfortable means riding longer, fully enjoying each ride, and not ending the day with fatigue.

 

When talking comfort on Your Softail, below are the things that, when combined, will give you the

Ultimate Softail Comfort

 


 

 



Gas Tank Lift

Harley-Davidson  Tank lift kit bike runs cooler motorcycle softail heritage deluxe fat boy springer cross bones night train deuce DK  Custom Products Rocker MADE IN THE USA blackline dark custom

 

Benefits:

  • Less “wind buffeting” 

  • Cooler Engine (less heat felt by rider)

  • Bonus of Easier Cleaning of engine

 

A tank lift will reduce “wind buffeting” felt by the rider, as lifting the tank will allow less air going over the tank, redirecting that air to the engine. Lifting the tank also give an added bonus of easier cleaning of the top of your engine and it will help with cooling down the engine. Less wind buffeting and a cooler engine will mean more comfort for the rider!

 

 

Floorboards

Benefits:

  • Gives feet a solid platform

  • Rubber mat/insert provides vibration isolation & grip

  • No wind pushing at bottom of boot while at speed

  • Easier Shifting/Adjusting weight while riding

  • Increased Lean Angle over OEM footpegs

 

Once you’ve gotten your butt in the right place and comfortable, it’s time to look at foot placement/comfort. Floorboards give a more solid platform for your feet and provide good grip in wet and dry weather. The rubber mat also helps to isolate vibration in your feet. Eliminating the wind pushing up at the bottom of your boot will be much more comfortable and especially useful on those long rides. Adjusting your weight while on those long rides is also much easier with floorboards.

Highway pegs are a Must.

Much like the heel rests, highway pegs help to reduce overall fatigue for more riding comfort and enjoyment.

Handlebar Riser Extensions

DK Custom Handlebar Riser Extensions Fat Risers Harley Dyna Softail

 

Benefits:

  • Raises Bars 

  • Slightly Tilts Bars back

  • Relieves Strain in Shoulders & Back

  • More Clearance for Tank Lift

 

The right handlebar position can make all the difference in ride comfort, relieving strain in your shoulders, neck, back, arms, and wrist by putting your hands in a more serene position for You. Handlebar placement and position varies widely from rider to rider and bike to bike.

How can you find the most comfortable bar position for you? 

This is the tried and true way:

  • Sit on your bike

  • Have someone hold it up straight for you

  • Put your feet on the pegs

  • Close your eyes

  • Put your hands out to where it is most comfortable to hold them

  • Open your eyes...wherever your hands are, that is where you want the handlebar grips to be.



 

Handlebar Grips

Benefits:

  • Reduce/Eliminate Tingling/Numb Fingers

  • More Cushioned Feel

 

Once you’ve adjusted your bars to the most comfortable position for You, it’s time to look at your handlebar grips. No one likes that annoying tingling/numb feeling in your hands and fingers after a long ride. Adding better grips that will dampen handlebar vibration while providing a more cushioned feel, on top of riser extensions, will help to provide the Ultimate Comfort when riding. 



 

Better Front Suspension

Benefits:

  • Keeps tires better planted
  • Less dive when applying front brakes
  • More Control & Stability
  • More Clearance (lean angle) in curves

 

Once your hands, feet, and butt are all in the right position and most comfortable to  you, the final step is to upgrade that not so great Harley front suspension. Whether you opt for a cartridge system, performance springs, or drop in valves, any upgrade will provide a better ride. Having the correct spring weight for your weight, the correct amount of sag, limited dive when applying the front brakes, and correct damping in both the compression and rebound strokes, will provide you with a much more comfortable, stable, smoother ride.
