I was thinking of getting spring/s to suit my weight, is it worth the effort? Will I feel a difference? ...... I`m a big guy.
And is there any places I can get them that anybody can recommend if its a good idea.

I don`t race(on a track) and mostly trail ride(mostly exploring).

Yes you will feel a difference, the honda's are generally a little soft to start with so it would be worth the effort for a bigger fella to get some heavier springs. try Adam at Quad Squad for some alternate springs.

even if you got some 450r shocks you'd probably still want to re-spring them......
