Rode my Hawk Sunday offroad, it did well...but I do see that the suspension is exactly what I paid for.
However, today on my way to town I was surprised as the bike easily cruised at 65 (flat ground, no wind). It seems to be loosening up now that it has about 200 miles on it. Also seems to be getting about 65+ mpg. Converting km to miles means I can't ever tell until I get at home and use a calculator lol |

I think it is what was discussed in the rear spring thread. The front is fine, but the rear is just too firm. Instead of absorbing washboard terrain or bumps it just bounces off the ground.

Have you been following the thread by jimwildman on the rear shock he found to replace the stock one?

Yes that is the thread I was talking about. That shock is on my list once my pennies start adding up to dollars.

I see that you live in Oklahoma, so most of your riding is of the sit-down variety, is that correct? Try standing up on the rough stuff, it may help.
