I'm just a click or 2 over 200, and I took the rear shocks all the way up to the highest level. And that was pretty much just for solo riding. Now, the rear is fine, as long as some fat chick doesn't want to ride, and I usually just respond to those request by saying "my bike's suspension isn't strong enough for both of us" (Ah, there is an advantage to not having a touring suspension afterall)
