5 psi seems a lil light imo, have you played with air pressure?

X2 sounds pretty low

ya anything over an inch and a 1/2 is just a bar hopper. I know being in michigan I would not go that low. roads are terrible here..pot holes and craters every where.

More air might help the ride but probably not the clunk. It may look good but it will never ride good. Air ride is the only way to go. That is the only way you will be happy.

well i thinking i just figure out what my clunking problem was. the cruese modual that bolts to frame under seat. well it broke off at the ears and was getting wedged between frame and swing arm. guess i get rid of the cruese now. did not work any how. no loss
