      First, set the stock shocks in the garbage. They're dangerous junk.

      Then order up a set of better shocks. Progressive, Hagon, and Ikon are all pretty good, and if you're on the larger side, the cheap $80 Emgo/Chinese generics are pretty decent.

        Z1 are out of stock on the Ikons. I have put quite a few miles on stock shocks with no probs but I am one of the lighter ones and aftermarket are definitely better.

          just fitted a set of ikons to me Gs1000s the differance is amazing far better handling and comfort than the progresive 412s i had but they were 9yrs old.

            They've been out of stock since about January...
            I've emailed them twice since and they keep saying they are trying to get some.
            And right now, I don't have the cash for 'em anyway...so stockers here...
