Great thread... Since it has already been dug up from the grave, I figured I would throw my question into the hopper ...

From the factory, my Fat Bob came set at 2, which seems great for my 190 pound bag of bones. However, when my wife (weight left out on purpose) climbs on and I get swift in the twisties, we drag the exhaust.

My question - Is there an estimated combined weight chart thingy available that would give recommended settings for weight classes?

I'm looking for something like this:

Weight / Setting
0-105 / 1
105-165 / 2
165-225 / 3
225-285 / 4
285+ / 5

Thoughts? Ideas?

Thanks,
Rip

I can turn my adjusters with a gloved hand. If you use a spanner on these cheap shocks your going to bung them up. As far as riding a passenger it all depends on what the combined weight is. Trial and error. Fourth setting might be a good place to start.
