Your the "poster boy" weight for motorcyclist. Your good to go with what you have and your riding style. I'm 230#, ride half the time 2-up, bad back, and ugly........so I put some 13" ultra take off shocks on to cure my problems. Save your money for some chrome.

Don't go looking for issues to throw money at if you're not having problems. Put miles on your ride and only put money in it as you deem necessary.
