For me the stock suspension is not adequate for a few reasons:
- I weigh about 215lbs (figure 230lbs with gear on) and that weight seems to overwhelm the suspension. I read once that Japanese and European bikes were set for avg weight of 165lbs (Harleys at (185lbs), I have no idea if this is true.
- a severe back injury and the accompanying surgeries leave me grasping for anything to extend my riding
- the roads here are really bad. Frost heaves take their toll and I am far off the beaten path.
