Hey fazerboy 1969. I bought a Maxton rear shock for my gen 2 a month after buying the bike new in 2007. Richard at maxton will build you a shock set up for your weight and riding style. I do trackdays to touring two up with full Givi luggage and all I alter is the preload. spend the money it will transform your bike :D

i can do the r6 conversion to cater for 2 x 18 stone people and top box and fully loaded givi panniers and still handle on rails far cheaper than the big houses just a thought

Luke, do you tailor the spring to the weight of the rider, or is it the standard spring with the shock modded?   Apols if this is a dopey question.
