Mike, looks like this thread took a wrong turn! Sorry about that. You asked for opinions on the Elka shock and being that I spent some good money on 3 of them I felt qualified to offer what you asked for, my opinion. Its
a good product and worked well for my application.
To answer your above question, The advantage to using a better shock would be that you can tune it to your needs: weight, surface conditions, riding ability, and so on. Thats kind of hard to do with the stock shock with a spring that seems to be better suited for a 90 pound beginner and no comp. Or rebound adjustment.
I think you said you were a track day guy. If that's the case you seem to have the mind set to take your riding up a level. I think some suspension tuning may be in your future.
