Does anyone know the "stock spring rate" for the rear shock on the RS/SM?
It sure would be nice to switch out the stock spring to another rated maybe 50-100 lbs more tension. When riding two up and spring preset on 7, the bike squats to within 2-3" (tire to lower tail panel). Two people ,maybe 380 lbs. Large ,"unaddressed" bumps into the road can be problematic! -
Don't want the expense of an air shock.
Would like maybe an Elka setup, but would,for now, just like to change out the stock spring.
Carlos, you listening?
Lamont, you listening? Thoughts, appreciated
Elka, you listening? Maybe you've got a spring which would work with the stock shock?
