SO, all that said: Tell me about your favorites for rear shocks! There's a billion options out there and it's a little overwhelming haha. I may lower it a little, may not, or may just lower the front an inch or so for handling's sake. So I thought I'd start a new thread and gather some opinions! My plan is a daily rider that's mildly sport inspired (again see profile picture for idea).
It looks like most of the posts I'm finding on here don't answer my questions, or are a decade old, in regards to suspension upgrades. I've been scouring websites and forums posts for all sorts of different things, trying to gather as much information as I can, before I get into the bike very far, since it is my first go round. As a helpful reference, I'm looking to build a brat that's something in the same realm as the xs in my profile picture. Hey everyone! Hope all is well! I'm in the process of starting my first xs650 project/build.
