My KLR 650 now has swagger to spare
Buy this shock if you're a KLR 650 owner. The stock shock is softer than baby sh...well you get the idea. Tuning is simple. Sag alteration is simple with the threaded top. Combined with the front spring upgrade it is a safer bike to ride with zero 'off the throttle' dive and minimal brake dive. Install take 30 minutes. Recently did a weekend mountain camping trip with the bike loaded and the shock barely broke a sweat. I'm 200lbs with 40lbs of gear. Save your money and forget the RAP option. this does fine.

Great ride improvement for a Roadstar!
This product was fairly easy to install and brought a whole new life and ride to a 15 year old bike.

Excellent shock
Put the 1-inch lower version in my DL650 before a 3000 km trip with passenger and luggage. The shock performed very well, with excellent damping and load-carrying capacity. I’d buy it again.

Gives a great ride!
The new shocks made the difference between slowing down for the bumps and bottoming out to a great ride, never bottoms out.

Big improvement
I've put a couple thousand kms on this shock so far and am very impressed. After breaking it in the ride was very supple and controlled, the handling also felt a lot more stable while cornering.
Adjusting the spring preload wasn't that easy but once set I shouldn't have to touch it. Very pleased so far, plan to test it in the Yukon with a full load aboard.

Last upgrade to an old girl
Did this upgrade to my 1999 Kawasaki Drifter 800 to replace the old worn out shock. The job was completed in Jan here in Northern Ontario so have to wait till May before I can actually ride the bike, but it should be a huge difference.....

Questions
Looking to replace factory shock in my 2018 street bob. I weigh around 240 give or take 10 pounds. Do I need heavy duty shock? Normally don’t ride with passenger and was thinking 13.5 length. I’m almost 6’1”
Heavy duty would be recommended for you. The heavy duty spring is normally recommended for bikes with additional add-on accessories, rider weight over 200 pounds or passenger use over fifty percent of the time.

Is it a suitable shock replacement for an 07 vulcan custom 900? Site shows good fit, but has anyone used on a cruiser? How smooth is it ? Changing the oem for a new one.
I picked this shock it's fits right I place and has adjustments to make it stiffer or softer I actually have not got to ride mine with it in as I went with the one inch lower for my bike to get a look I wanted but with my bike previously lowered it would. Bottom out. In a few weeks I will be swapping out the lowering link for the original and try again.

Would this shock be suitable to handle a passenger weighing around 250 lbs for long distance riding? Is this price for 2 shocks?
Yes it would be, but you might want to get it with air

I've got a 2000 BMW 1150 GS. Your fitment check says it should fit but is it heavy duty enough for my 600 lb. Beemer? PS. I generally ride loaded up for touring.
I put that shock on a 1992 BMW K100RS. It was a little shorter than stock but the best I could do. No problems, but I didn't tour with it or experiment with different settings. Have since sold the bike. Try the BMW MOA forum for better advice.
