Default Replaced the rear shock...

She's back! The old girl was sagging too much in the rear end, bottoming over bumps and wallowing in the corners. Now she's handling all sweet again!
I replaced the original shock with an oem shock again. My parts bike had a good one on it. Anybody tried any other shocks?

hyperpro. remote reservior, hi-lo speed rebound and compression adjustment. only thing i didn't get was height adjustment. cost a pretty penny but worth it.

"sprung for a 150lb rider" Does this mean you preload the spring or get a specific spring for your weight range?
