[QUOTE="draco_1967, post: 1411623, member: 89990"] I have a Wilburs shock that I picked up gently used. It is the 3-way adjustable (rebound, high-speed compression, and low-speed compression) with a hydraulic preload adjuster. Once I adjusted everything how I like it, I haven't needed to touch anything except preload when carrying a passenger/full luggage. If you get a non-adjustable (other than preload) model, make sure you have it set up by a shop just the way you like it. I have had an Ohlins on another bike that only had rebound and preload adjustment, and it worked so much better than stock. You will notice the shortcomings of the front once you put on a better shock. I though the FJR was the best suspended bike I'd ever been on, but my previous experience was all bikes with basic, budget suspension. Now I am itching to respring/revalve the front to match the rear. [/QUOTE]
