I'm no expert but I would think by the size of some folks I've seen riding theses things, 315 pounds at full stiff setting should be a cake walk if the shock is any good at all.

Are you sure you have it set right? I'm 210, my wife is about 130. I've never bottomed out.

It sounds to me like you have something going on with your shock. If adjusted right you should be able to handle normal conditions without bottoming like that. There are several members here running an aftermarket shock that improves the ride on these bikes. One shock people use is a Progressive 465-1170. Here is a link to some posts here talking about it. http://www.vulcanforums.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-104417.html

Sounds like it may be lowered. Are you the 1st owner? How many miles? If not lowered, think you have bad shock or other suspention issues.
