What Suspension Should I Choose?

[Mahatma]

Hi.Have decided to upgrade my downgraded rear suspension.It stands between a new third party air-suspension,third party regular suspension or a used original with all that entails.Under is links to the two new third party suspensions.Any thoughts on this?Guess anything is better than what is on now which is calibrated for a motorcycle 100 pounds lighter or so...

Thanks in advance

PS:The adverts says spacers not included.Asked the seller,but he said it was something for the fork springs (guess he meant shock springs.Anyone know if that is just if I need to run it for superheavy loads,or are those essential which I need to make?

First off, regarding the spacers, he's probably on about the bushes that may go around the mounts at the top and perhaps bottom of the shock. Just a guess...

Secondly, if the bike's lost lots of weight, you'll probably find something that's been designed for a stock bike to be a bit firm. Have you thought about contacting somebody like Hagon, see what they can do for you? Very good value shocks that can be made for a specific purpose.

No,the bike hasn't lost weight,I just bought some cheap shocks last year since I was abit tight moneywise.About spacers,the seller said that it was designed for bolt-on aplication.Just strange mentioning spacers if they are not neccessary...

Think I'll go with the new airshocks.Hate living in the backwaters:(

Thanks for reply though:)

Edit:Bought the airshocks.See what they do come spring.
