you know the drill... 01 gix 6
I have a stocker rear and i have adjusted it and adjusted it, the rebound is dial ALL the way out and it still comes back up to slow... We compensated by adding more preload to it, but this make me unstable over big bumps. Time to start looking for a aftermarket rear..
what do you suggest?
FoX? Penske? White Brothers, Ohlins

Who has the best price?

get signed up with lockhart phillips team privateer and pick up a penske. you cant beat the price with a stick.. no one can come close to selling them as cheap as lp does to racers.

I run a penske rear on my gixx and eventhough I dont have much racing experience...the suspension feels great unlike stock rears I have rode on

I would be interested...This stock rear shock is killing me. Damn...I am such a cheap ass!

Although I imagine , If I wanna better my current 20's , I should replace it with a good one to compliment the race tech forks. eh? http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

I got my Works shock brand new from GSXR-Freak (John jangelotti@sbcglobal.net ) for $267 - it was a special but normally I think he sells them for around $400, it was sprung for my weight and setup for racing style. 3 way adjustable, etc.... very bling bling unit as well,

beat THAT price...
