I have a 2014 non-ES beauty that I think I'm going to keep for the foreseeable future so I've recently decided to invest more in it, starting with an ECU flash by Anthony to try to smooth out the throttle.
The next thing I want to tackle is suspension. I'm a big guy coming in at about 257 lbs. I ride with the preload one line short of the max and take it to the max when carrying boxes or my wife, who fortunately weighs A LOT less than I do.
I'm thinking about upgrading the suspension so that I'm not maxing it out and so the ride is more comfortable and I'm coming here looking for options. When people that know suspension say that suspension seems like a big mystery for some people, they're describing me.
I read that the stock springs are progressive which work not so well for heavy guys.
I want suspension that works for me, wether alone, with the wife, with luggage, or with everything. However, I want to keep it in a reasonable price range. I read some folks talk about just swapping the springs which would seem like a quick and cheap fix, but will it be enough?
I'm talking with RaceTech to see what they can do for me, but I wanted to get some opinions here as well to help me decide.
Any recommendations?
