REAR SUSPENSION

[Donncat1]

I have a question; on my '21 Tour Roadsmith I find the rear suspension to be really stiff. So much so that I leave the ride setting on Single Rider, no matter the load, 2up, bags full ,I don't come down off the spring stops at all as far as I can tell. The little woman ,5'3" says she misses the softer ride. I did a quick comparison and the new springs are well larger/thicker than the original one spring. Of course, I'm aware of the extra weight but I'm thinking they over compensated. I'm not small, 6'1" and 240 lbs , but regardless, too stiff. Anyone have a comment or an idea? I would really like to have the original ride back.
