Not at all happy with the stock F3 S R shock. It's OK; barely--it's too soft for my 185lbs---bet it'll be really great [or not] for two up riding--given the NO spring pre-load! I've looked at the BRP/FOX (the $650 one, not the cheapo one) shock, and the Elka Stage 2 (I'd really like to run with the Stage 4 but can't gut the extra $200.00 for a compression circuit). I'm definitely leaning towards the Elka (never heard anyone here who's said anything other than they make a good shock), but would consider another brand "if" anyone has had actual experience with one and cost is in the same ball park as the $600.00 Stage 2 Elka.

No air shocks! Just coil overs. TY!
