It might help if we knew what you were riding, and how it is set up. (Stock shocks, after market shocks, are the shocks set at lowest spring pre load, etc.)

Hi, over here in England i ve used a company called Hagons, who made upa pair of adjustable shocks to the weight of rider / pillion that i gave them. Price was ÂŁ110 (approx $230) i,m sure there must be a company on your side of the pond with a similar service.

The wife and I are in the same situation. I put some Pr`ogressive 412 with heavy duty springs on. It has made a world of difference. The bike used to bottom out alot but no more. Well worth the money.
