The original rear shocks really were better suited for pogo sticks. If you're considering staying close to stock consider Hagon shocks for the rear. Contact Dave Quinn (see link) and he will set up a pair for your specific bike, riding style, weight, etc. I put a set on my bike 6 years ago and they are still great! Along with providing superior suspension they have stainless steel bodies and shrouds. Mine are like #4 in bottom picture. Ed
