Hello all! I am in the process of redo of a gs650. I would like to give it some better suspension, more sporty. Does anyone have experience with shock and fork spring combinations that work well with this bike?Thanks

Search through this: Shocks query
Don't be daunted, you can tell which ones are of interest.
For fork springs, you can use Progressive or Sonic.

I am happy with the Hagons I used on my GS650. So happy that I bought another set for my GS750 
And what length? My OEM shocks measure close to 340 mm, but Z1 recommends 350 mm. I plan to order a pair before the bike goes out in the spring. I have Sonic springs for the front end.

You might want to take a look at my thread above. I used cartridge emulators in the front and the stock springs. Haven't changed the rear yet, but I'd go with progressives or Hagons when I have the money. I had to set the stock shocks on the stiffest setting once I had the front end done. A fork brace wold be another recommendation. They are available from "Fast from the past". Send me a PM if you have any questions.

Thanks for all the input. I will check out the hagons and progressive and sonic gear to see what will suit me. Vik
