Just tighten the preload or change to longer shocks or air shocks.
I sometimes have that problem when riding 2 up. I am Not a small guy.
I am thinking about going to the bagger air shocks myself.

Sorry guys I shoulda been more specific, it is the rear that is giveing me the trouble. I am 170 lbs. so that shouldn't be a factor. I had one of the guys at the service shop take a look and he said he was able to adjust the rear shocks i click only, he also suspected that the former owner put a lowring kit on it I don't know.

Measure your ground clearence. Should be over 5 inches. I bottom out if I ride into the driveway too fast when the wife is on the back and I have stock clearence with the shocks as stiff as can be adjusted.
