Another shock thread, but SHOWA
#7
Here is another vote for the Ikon's. This is the way I look at it. While yes, a higher spec pair of shocks would be the better way to go, if you were riding at closer to the proverbial 9-10/10's all the time, do you actually NEED something that goes that far deep into the adjustability range? Probably not. I mean, we all put up with riding these CB's in stock form. They aren't the worst suspended bikes ever.

Works used to be a decent option over stock shocks. Once the old man died though, the company basically closed. Works are rebuildable, but I haven't worked in the industry for a while now, so I don't know who offers rebuild kits for those shocks.
