The stock shocks always gave it a lousy ride. Upgraded to Intruder shocks last year, 1000 fold improvement in ride. And much better ground clearance for the full rear fender.
I've got a Dunlop for the rear now, just haven't installed it. Exact same tire came stock on Lisa's 800 Intruder, kept it at sidewall max and the tire wear was pretty even. Dunlop Qualifier, cruiser type, not the Qualifier sport type. Her Intruder sports the rear shocks from my Savage, battery box bottoms out on some speed bumps, but she loves the improved handling and lower stance.
Fuel economy is a bit better with the lowering,but with 10" rise bars and a wimpshield...
