[QUOTE="Dan Cooper, post: 1448203, member: 98210"] Depends on how much you want to spend on rear shock. The latest Gen 3 Yamaha shock is a significant improvement over Gen 1 and 2 undersprung / underdamped shocks for considerably less $$ than Ohlins. Found one at Partzilla for under $500. Of course, it's NOT Ohlins or Penske or any number of other higher end aftermarket shocks. If you're willing to spring for the big bucks, you won't be disappointed in the FJR with better suspenders. I've been using a Wilbers shock for the last 15 years, been on 4 different FJRs over the years. With the occasional rebuild it will outlast me. Traxxion Dynamics can provide plug and play fork springs to match your weight and riding style. Aftermarket cartridges are pricy, but the OEM cartridges have a significant range of adjustment when paired with the appropriate springs. There are several other suspension suppliers, choose your favorite. dan [/QUOTE]
