hey. im 15 years old and i weigh aprox. 125 pounds. my bro is 18 and he weighs 185. we both ride the same quad (86 q-racer, many many mods) well if i get the shocks set up for 190 pounds will that really suck when i hop on since i weigh only 125??? its probably better that way tho cause then i'll never bottem out and we constantly have it pinned over huge jumps. but i just wanted to know if any of you guys had bad experiences. and if it is bad i can always change it cause im ordering threaded preload along with it. well thanks

Threaded preload is good so you can always change it. I would set it up to the heavier weight, the shocks will just be a little stiff for you until you gain weight. It will be no problen unless you race, then you will need to adjust your preload.
