I recently installed the lowering blocks from Maw's. I put the stock shocks on the stiffest setting and it's great by myself, BUT, with the wife on the back the bike tends to bottom out on the bumps. Is there a stiffer shock I can go to? Thanks.

That's coming hopefully the first of the year I was just trying to find something to make it thru this season.

The Progressive 440s will fix that right up. There are also less expensive Progressive 412 and 418s.

I think the shocks will come before the lighter wife. I already suggested that we both shed a few pounds but that idea didn't float. LOL Thanks for the info on the shocks.
