rear shock

[partmanpartbike64]

(lightging & ulysses)Is there a stiffer rear shock available? as mentioned when the trottle is cracked the rear pulls down. Stuffing up the front end ballance. so in theory stiffening up the back will reduce the effect and inprove handeling. Also is tyre choice a factor what is the best to reduce this front end twitch?

You really need to put a steering stabilizer on there to help out with that. You can stiffen the rear end by rotating the shock so the spring stiffens up. If you don't know bike suspension you shouldn't be adjusting it yourself you could really make it worse.

the suspension on the buell is completely adjustable, so no need to buy a stiffer one.

tire is a contributing factor...pressure, grip, etc

I made the ajustment to suit rider weight, But the point was the engine when reved squats transfering weight to the rear, so a stiffer shock set to rider weight surely would be benificial?

Like he said the suspension is fully adjustable. You can take the spanner wrench they give you in your stock tool kit and take the seat off the turn down so the spring stiffens up and it will be better.
