Shocks from 650 to 450 OK?
The shocks on my 450 are too weak and I'm not willing to pay for NOS originals or Progressives. I found a set of very nice looking Showas off a 650 that I was thinking of getting. There's 34,000 miles on 'em. Would you think they've had it at that mileage, or still perfectly functional? I don't know what the life of a shock is.

The life of OEM shock's at that time was less than 20,000.

I appreciate that info (well, some of it ). I need some that actually can hold up a 250 pound guy.
Poor little GS! How it suffers.
Good idea to be looking at shocks from the bigger bikes, though, right? To get something plenty stiff?

Yes, as long as it fit's.
I remember a friend of mine useing the shock's of my GT750 on his kwaka 650, he was very happy with them.
I put Koni's on the GT.
