Have you thought about buying a bus instead? :lol
Couple of posts down, Kebab19 is yer man, he tweeks a few shocks to keep people smiling
As Mtread says, the standard shock loses its oomph after a general 20,000 miles, all depending on personal riding conditions.
I bought a reconditioned one a few years back off an ex foccer, and it's still fine for me, and i'm a tad heavier than you, but i can only positively imagine that an upgrade is a lot better if you chuck the bike about a bit.
My bike is primarily a commuter vehicle, so although it's a lovely idea trying out a new shock, it's not really in the forefront of necessary mods for me, due to my way of riding and cost, plus i don't tend to take passengers any more, whereas i used to quite often.
