Has anybody got a line on some stiffer springs for the front and back? I'm a bigger guy and would like to have the full range of adjustability. I don't want to just dial everything up and forget about it. The race kit for the other xbs looks promising, but I assume those springs would be too short.

I'm wondering how long it will be before an aftermarket company makes a shock and fork springs for the Uly.

Chad, I was hoping you would chime in.

You seem to have a bit of racer background, i.e. know something about suspension, and you're a bigger guy than most. Do you think a simple spring swap would be sufficient or are we looking at entire front and rear suspensions. The dampers sound like they are some of the best around and are fully adjustable, I just don't know what suspension components would do with stiffer springs and more weight.
