I weigh around 240 with gear on, I am sure the regular 412's will not support my weight, as I have read they are for 150 pound riders. Did you get heavy duty 412's? Does anyone know if this will support my weight, or is there a better choice, that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
A while back I did a bunch of measurements on the back of the bike, did a simple model in Auto Cad, and came up with a ratio for lowering, it was 2:1. For each inch of shock length reduction, you get 2 inches of seat height reduction (approxiamtaley).
