I recently purchased a 2002 ET2, and love it so far. The only issue I have with it is riding it by myself, the shocks are barely up to the task - I'm 265lbs, and if I go 2 up, well, the shocks just don't do it.
What sort of options do I have for upgrading the shocks? Thanks!!

Check out the adjustable bitubo shocks (both front and back). Not cheap, but a very doable "DIY" install job yourself.

I did both and they rock.....

You can adjust how hard or soft the shock load is.
