I am 220lbs. I upgraded the rear shock to a zx12r from a 03. It's spring rate is about 10kgs to 11kgs which works for our rate. You did need to drill out the bolt holes and top bushing to fit the larger bolt of the zx7r or make spacers for the smaller bolts of the zx12. The shock cost me 70 bucks from a junk yard and the took about ten minutes to put in the bike after the old shock is out. Drilling is not hard but a drill press is the better way to do it. This is a cheap alternative to the Ohlins and such.

The front fork I got Race Tech springs rate my weight.
