I love KHS, i will never switch to any other bike. And the frame comes witha 5 year warranty too. Buy a KHS frame. Nice gold and black paint job. Takes the edge off the back.
Rear shock is simple and low maintenance design.
Heavy at 4.75 pounds. Had some problems with the threading on the bottom bracket and the rear shock. Most of the softtails are titanium and are very expensive. Black elastomer is the softest, but mine came with a yellow elastomer. I called and KHS promptly sent me the black elastomer.
