My new shock has arrived, I've installed it and got it pretty close to setup (maybe a click or two to go).
Not too shabby, I must say. The rear has a much more planted feel on the gas now, and I didn't touch a peg for the whole day today.
There does seem to be a the little matter of the front seeming to come up easier now, especially out of a turn, but I think I can live with that...lol.
Everything was straight forward, the to the door price was $800-ish Au, and it can be upgraded later with remote. (The double clicker FTW 'cause our roads are so bumpy, I'll need the high speed compression adjuster).
If you're looking for a not too expensive way to get a better rear shock, this is probably it I reckon. Height adjustment, Rebound damping adjustment, and later on a choice of high and low speed or just the single compression adjustment.
I'll get some pics later...lol...too busy riding it today
