Rear shocks. was created by strum
I dont think my shocks are stock but they look close .
The problem is it rides very rough when running down the hwy .
granted this hwy in question is less than desirable in the first place.
If im riding my wife it much better so that tells me my shocks are just too firm.
They also are set on the bottom setting so theres no adjustment left.'
Ok to the question. I want to of course soften the ride but Ive already about broke the bank with bike parts.
What is a decent shock to buy at a decent price? Also Ill post in the wanted section too . Thanks guys.

Cheap shocks will just keep beating up your spine. Best money I ever spent was on Progressive gas filled shocks with progressive springs.
similar to these:
