I read thru the rear shock replacement options thread and am seriously considering getting the V-star 650 shock but does anyone have any experirence with that rear shock and riding two up? How do you like or do you wish you had something stronger? I'm about 195lbs wishing to get to 175lbs before christmas and my wife is about 180lbs right now a month after our baby so she's still losing and looking to get back to about 140ish. Took her out last weekend for a short ride with the preload set to 7 and it felt like the rear end was riding really low, almost on the stops. We never got bucked or anything but I'm thinking the Vstar shock would be much better for the two of us. Any experince with the V-star shock and two up riding?
