F3s Rear Shock availability
Now that my F3s has some years and some miles I decided it was time to replace the rear shock. Since the OEM was fine (typically only ride this one solo) I saw no reason to look at the more expensive options. I did plan to pick up the "Two Up" model this time around. Jumped over to PowerSportswarehouse and got a page not found. Thought maybe I put in the wrong part number. No luck. Flipped over to Cheapcycleparts with the same results. Wondered if there was a part number change but all of the current online listing show the same part number. Curious why the "Two Up" would no longer be available from these sites. At one time they were about 25% less then other online sources. Are they there and am I just failing in my search abilities.

Elka Suspension is awesome
The stock shocks on my 2015 F3S are total garbage for a $20k bike.
I put stage 3 Elka's on the Front and Stage 5 on the rear. My wife rides with me about 75% of the time and she got tired of getting her low back slammed when the back shock bottomed out (she only weighs 130lbs, so it's not a weight problem).
Have not bottomed out the bike since the Elka's. Can corner faster and have way more confidence at high speeds.
Huge upgrade. It was about $1650 of investment, worth every penny.
