Talk to worx shocks. http://www.worksperformance.com/html/street.html you'll spend a bit more but they are awesome stuff. I plan on going with a set of their black trackers

Too bad you didn't get shocks already. Would've helped during the earthquake.

I'm 210lbs without gear .. I've never found a stock spring that was far far oversprung for me.
And .. I'm assuming neuroboy is looking for affordable street use. Those KYBs will be fine for that.
Yea they are sprung for someone about 200 lbs. On the street they are harsh unless I'm 2 up, but on the track they fucked my tires and were less than compliant on bumpy sections.
Let me look at pricing on the worx shocks NB I may be willing to sell you my KYBs

180lbs here, extremely pleased with my Ohlins' 36E's from Cogent.
Works or Ohlins, spend around the 500 and be done with it. Those who have, can't speak high enough of either brand.

Are you still riding? The weather's been kind of shit. I need to do one last run to fill the tank, but I might be done for the year.

yeah it's been rainy 'round here. . . i usually put it up right before thanksgiving, but i promised my gf a ride on the new bike before i put it up and i have rear pegs for it.
i was out last night riding to my soccer game. it was cold but it's wasn't unpleasant. my buddy rode up to VT last weekend to camp. friday night was 23 degrees. . . there was crystally frost on his bike. he said that was an unpleasant night. he has an FZ6 with a big windscreen and hippo-hands for commuting, but he said it was still a tough couple of nights.

sorry to get off topic here. thanks to everyone for the shocks recs. i'm not doing any heavy lifting riding-wise (track days, etc) so I think I'm fine going econo. Texas94, if you end up wanting rid of your pair I'd be happy to take them off your hands for $250ish. . . if not I'll probably go with a new pair of Hagon 2810's with one--stage damping control at $300.
cheers.

I just put a set of Progressive Suspension 412 Series on my Thrux10. It was night and day from stock. Not too expensive and i am doing the front fork springs this weekend (or next). I am looking fwd to a front end that doesnt dive as much!!

210? What happens when you put both feet on the scale
