97 vmax 600 Rear suspension?

[Flakes]

So as I get older I seem to get bigger, I am 6-2 and pushing 260. anyways I am guessing as the spring gets older it is getting weaker as well. my question is do these springs come in differant strenghts? Also I am having a hard time finding a spring are the interchangeable from years?

I've heard that there is a heavy weight spring for the center shock.

Throw a set of XTC shocks on there, or even viper shocks...add some travel and you can stiffen the spring before installing them.

Wouldn't I need a differant suspention to throw in the longer shocks? I was told by the local mechanic last year when I put the new shocks in that I could not just throw anything in there. Other than OEM specs

There have been countless posts here about shock swapping. With the right resources and a little know-how just about any shock mod can be done.
