 \\; Is there any ideas on stiffing up rear shocks.I'm big boy about 245 and my daughter took after dad she goes about 150.when I take her for a ride its about to much for my 04 1200. Any ideas besides diet. She really likes going with me and I love having her along. Thanks Mud Cut

If you're still running the stock shocks, have you tried turning up the setting? \\; I'm not as heavy as you, only 170 but I occasionally carry passengers going at 150 and I keep mine at the 2nd setting. \\; Makes it a little stiff when solo but not bad and when carrying no problem at all. \\; Bike does sit up a bit higher though.

I am probably about 215 with all of my gear on and have finally found a setting that wont bottom out my Nightster. \\; I tried the third notch for a while and it was an improvement over the second, but the other day I bumped it up to the first and it hasn't bottomed out since. \\; Up here in Maine we have more frost heaves than I know what to do with and have found that I would rather have a way to stiff ride until I get progressives rather than bottoming out every other pot hole.

Sick,
I got my shocks from Easternperformance (about 190 delivered) and the fork springs on ebay - about 70 delivered. \\;\\\\\\; Bought mine over the winter.
