Hey Jerry,

Thanks for your reply.

I weigh about 215 so I upgraded the springs in both the front and back suspension.

For the forks I just bought the Cogent 42 kg/mm springs & DDC Drop in Damper cartridges and installed them. They feel much better. Nowhere near the amount of nose dive.

For the rear shock I bought the Cogent 7.2 kg/mm replacement Spring. I considered replacing the whole shock but ended up taking an incremental approach. As I'm in the process of replacing the rear spring (It's apart on my work bench as I write this) I don't have anything to report yet. I'm hopeful that it will serve my purposes and I won't have to buy the full shock replacement. I have to see whether the stock dampening will work well enough with the replacement spring at my weight.

Best of luck withy your upgrades. I not only weigh around 240, but carry 25-30 pounds of cargo on the bike at all times, and have added at least 20 pounds worth of accessories to it. So it is seriously loaded down.
