Hey guys,
im pretty new to forums and sportbikes, ive always been a big harley guy, but i recently sold my bike and im looking at a 1000rr right now. the only problem i have if the fact that im a 6'4" and 275lbs. polish monster. and i was wondering what kind of rear shocks and springs i can upgrade to so i can get the best performance out of the bike for my gigantic self. any suggestions are apprecieated.

 

Custom tuning your suspension to your exact specs is definitely a good idea...however I can tell you I'm 6'8 and weighed as much as 260# and could still carve up the mountains with stock suspension.

 

I'm a Harley guy too but I'm keeping my Harley. More bikes are the answers to life problems. I think the main thing is upping the shock/spring preload for the extra weight.

 

Changing springs and revalving would be the way to go but unless your racing just crank up preload to max and then start adjusting the other settings.
