Thanks for the help!  Do either of you have a suggestion on a manufacturer?

  I'll have to agree with gdrudd13, I also have started to put my winter weight on and so am slightly heavier then you. My original shock was almost wore out and so I  replaced it with the progressive  shock, and it is really worth the funds. The labour is not that bad, it is really simple if you take your time and is a really good way to learn about the suspension of your bike. If you have never done it then perhaps an afternoon of work, while some of our experts would have it swapped out in a couple of hours.

You can replace the rear shock with a progressive unit, or I installed air ride. I'm thinking your shock is bad though because I weigh significantly more than you do and never had my bike bottom out during normal riding.

I just added saddlebags and a trunk to my 2000 (solo seat).  With me at 170 lbs. and very little in the bags and the preload at 7, it still bottoms out.  Anything I can do?

TIA!
