Ok, I know this topic has been covered a number of time, but the problem is it is in a number of places. I have tried searching lots of threads some with a ton of pages so I am kinda hoping this will become a great reference for people who are searching for rear shock info in the future. So if you have an aftermarket or non-SV shock on your bike please post with roughly the following information:
Brand of shock (aftermarket brand or model of bike it came off of)
Model of your SV (1st Gen or 2nd Gen, 650 or 1000)
Your weight (specify if it is with or without gear)
General riding style (racing, commuting, commuting and weekend twisty warrior, etc)
Modifications needed to install (cut the battery box?, different dogbones to maintain ride height?, anything else relevant?)
Happy with your choice (is it just right? To soft for your weight? To harsh?)
Chosen Settings (preload amount-, compression damping-, rebound damping-)
Price and where you got it (eBay? this forum? another forum? vendor?)
I would love to be able to start this off, but I am one of the lost souls searching high and low for information. I figure if everyone will just fill in the above info this might serve the entire board more than just another "which is right for me thread".
