Default 240lb with gear, what suspension do i need?

hey guys, i will be purchasing an s1k shortly... title says it all.

im 6'3 220lb. (fig. about 20 more lb. for leathers, etc?)

before all of the fat jokes come in, im a work out buff etc,,, muscular build..

anyway, what do i need to do to the bike suspension "right' ?

im assuming minimum: spring kit for the forks?

and probably a new shock for the rear? if i can remember i want to say that most stock rear shocks arent meant to handle that weight, or even with a fat man spring its basically at the limit of its design instead of being in the middle with adjustments etc...

thanks for the help, any links suggestions are greatly apprecitated.
