I ordered a new tach cable today. Im ready to have this thing finished and ready to ride to school. Does anyone know if its possible to make the suspension a little bit stiffer? Im 6'6" and 300Lbs. So it rides a little low with me on it.
If not already done, would check rear shocks' "pre-load" adjustments, as they may now be in a too soft position.
There are usually 5 different settings, ranging from softest minimum pre-load to stiffest maximum pre-load.
Good Fortune!

Those rear shocks are a little too soft for us big guys. You can turn the top adjustment collar to #4 and adjust the bottom sleeve to put more pre-load on the spring. Still, mine is soft and I am only 250 lbs.
