What is everyone using as replacement rear shocks? Not looking for anything high end just something that works like the OEMs.

Thanks.

Um...year, make and model please.

I use Works Performance. Not cheap and unfortunately has cooling fins but they really really work good compared to stock.

If your wanting to race then the Works shocks are the most bang for the buck but if your just going to fart around then those cheap piggy back shocks from China off eBay are the way to go , I talked to a guy who had them on a race bike and he said they where not bad.
