I finally took the time to adjust the suspension on my 2013. I didn't have the preload tool but I did have an oil filter wrench (kind of like a giant set of pliers) that did the trick. I changed the shocks to the third position from soft and then adjusted the fork preload screws down to the second mark. Those changes made a bigger difference than I would have thought! At 6ft 2in and 220lb I am probably a little heavier than most, so take it for what its worth. But for my weight the bike soaked up a lot more of the beat up Iowa highways.
I know this has been discussed before, but for all the guys getting new bikes just a reminder to take advantage of the adjustments the CB has available.
