good start

I fitted a Hyperpro spring over Christmas and I am very happy with it so far. not only is it firmer than the original it seems to ride much better. I guess like anything it depends on your budget.
I am tempted to get the fork springs to match the rear.

Been on to both Maxton and a suspension supplier and KAIS in the North West [Atherton] both seemed to know there stuff , Maxton being the Most expensive at £330 for revalve , springs and set up for front with a possible 100 to replace cartridges as well total £430 for front,  respring rear shock with stiffer spring to suit £100 or replace approx £590 with their own tailor made with ride height adjuster / preload.Total £1100 ish!

KAIS quoted £291 for re-valve and set up for front no mention of wear in cartridges ? and £391 for a hyperpro rear shock again built to order but with no remote ride height adjuster/ preload told if you solo you dont really need to constantly adjust , makes sense. They also could remove the original spring which is too soft unless you weigh 8 stone wet through with a stiffer one for about the same £100 .
Any thoughts ? I had an Ohlins on last FZS1000 looked mint but they are nearly a grand for the rear !

I've just fitted a Nitron NTR Sport, £360 fitted. Due to chronic weather conditions up here in I've not had the chance to fully test it properly yet.

Nope but I have the R6 rear shock to sell if you want that instead I got it from DevilsYam, but found an Ohlins for slightly more so have the R6 shock to re-sell
