I think it is what was discussed in the rear spring thread. The front is fine, but the rear is just too firm. Instead of absorbing washboard terrain or bumps it just bounces off the ground.

Have you been following the thread by jimwildman on the rear shock he found to replace the stock one?

Yes that is the thread I was talking about. That shock is on my list once my pennies start adding up to dollars.

I see that you live in Oklahoma, so most of your riding is of the sit-down variety, is that correct? Try standing up on the rough stuff, it may help.
