Smoother Ride - New Shock?

I'm pretty lightweight and my Storm seems to ride awfully harsh. Just too much spring rate for my size I guess. Are there any adjustable shocks made for these bikes? Or something I could retrofit from another bike?

BTW, I'm running a mere 12 lbs of air in the rear tire and it doesn't deflect the sidewalls at all. I'm guessing I could run it completely flat and it would still ride normally.

I don't know the length of your shock. First thing you will need to do is get an eye to eye measurement. You can search Amazon, eBay or Aliexpress. There are plenty to choose from. I just replaced my rear shock on my Vulcan S with this one. Just check and search for the length you need. Adjustable spring and air. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...0?ie=UTF8&th=1

Herbie has also used the same shock on his KPR200.

Thanks. My OEM shock is 12" (305mm) hole-to-hole. Does anyone know what poundage the stock springs are? I'd like to soften the ride a bunch.
