Default Fatty suspension set for light weight !!!

Hi Guys
I have just read the softail owners manual and it states the bikes rear suspension comes factory set for a 175lbs rider!!!
Couple of questions I am 245lbs
1, has anyone adjusted the rears uspension on their softtail ? and noticed any change in ride quality etc?
2 Has anyone got a base line setting? IE one full turn out for a 250lbs man?

Regards

This should help you. I would try one full turn like you said and go from there... If you ride 2up, maybe a little more than that. Not rocket science, just adjust to what feels best for you.
