My 04 Fatboy is pretty stiff. I ride single and weigh 190, the rear is extremely stiff. I checked the preload and its set about where it should be for my weight. I dont mind changing oil weights to get a better ride but really don't want to spring for replacement shocks/fork components. Has anybody else had this issue and found a solution?

Thanks

I'd still lighten the preload and try that before spending money.
Niether my 04 nor my 08 Heritage had any issues like yours, and I weigh near the same as you. 
Something is wrong on yours. I'd suspect the adjustment.
