Morning everyone,

Looking for advice from someone that has done it.  I currently pull a bunkhouse trailer with my 17 CVO limited.  My wife and I aren't small people both in the 220 - 230 range weight catagory.  With the stock shocks on the bike I find myself maxing out the load.  I'm looking for replacement shocks that give me more upper range if needed.

Thanks very much,
Ron.

I know Ohlins offer multiple spring rates. Call Carol Burkes at Suspended by Smarty. He's a suspension guru, can give you solid advice. 469-268-4232

I would agree with a call to Carol. He should be able to fix you up. I  pull a trailer quite a bit, not as quite as heavy as your bunkhouse but it still gets loaded down. Wife and I sound like we are in your same size range. I gave our weight, as well as trailer tongue weight to Carol and he had a set of Ohlins sprung to cover our average weight. Riding 2 up we are good, and typically I add 2 turns to the preload when we add trailer. Probably got 50,000 on that set up and still very happy with it
