Now if you are just riding around on the street, i wouldn't go nuts on suspension mods (if i was ever heavy enough to notice anyway)

You're too light for most suspensions, so um yeah you'd be spending money anyways
I've had to re-spring a couple bikes because the shock was too stiff for anyone lighter than 180-200. The manufacturers keep putting these gonzo rear springs on........I guess they figure they want to be on the safe side in case someone rides with a passenger. Either that or they want it to feel super-stiff and track-like so that magazine writers call it the best bike.
