I have one, it's an awesome shock. Every bit as good as the Ohlins, if not better.

I am thinking about getting an ohlin shock and found it at EMA for $883.96. They said they would set it up with the correct spring for my fat ass. I weigh in at 195 with all of my kit on. I was wondering what other riders have noticed with a change in shock over the stock unit. It does not matter what shock at this point but before I plunk out the cash it would be nice to hear from someone else about it.

Blur1 I see you also have the road and track forks. I was wondering what the out come would be by changing just the shock or would I also have to change out the stock fork springs. I can't get into forks right now as they are big bucks. It sort of gets to the point of adding a big pile of cash into the 02 or getting an 04. Thanks for the input!! :dunno
