I'm curious what exactly was wrong with the stock shocks, or the Works shocks. Too much rebound or compression damping, or wrong spring rate - too stiff or bottoms out?

Those Showa RS-R shocks have click-adjustable compression and rebound damping, which is probably not the problem. The spring preload is adjusted by turning the knobs, which rotates a nut around the threads - it is slow.
