I have the Nitron Track shock on my Gen1 and I really rate it, obviously the difference between the knackered old OEM shock and the Nitron was night and day, I instantly went from 10mm chicken strips to none at all - purely down to the extra confidence and feel the shock gave me. When I ordered the shock I gave them my weight, riding style and pillion requirements and after a decent amount of testing found that the shock was set up nigh on perfect, I just had to tweak the compression damping by a click or two presumably because I had shorter dog bones and used up all the height adjustment to put more weight on the front and so less on the rear.
Having said that this is my first aftermarket shock so I can't compare it to the competition and when I emailed about servicing costs and timescales I got no response back (I'll probably end up phoning).
