Howdy all -
I recently purchased a new '07 Honda VTX 1300 R and am wondering if I should consider upgrading the suspension since I am a big guy...6'3" and 340lbs.  The stock suspension can be adjusted for larger loads, but I'm thinking I might need to purchase an after market system.  Maybe not.  Any suggestions for a newbie?  Thanks

Progressive Suspension - get the upgraded rear shocks and upgrade the fork springs as well - also, you might want to go with a little heavier oil in the forks.

You'll be really happy with the changes!

Good luck
