i already bought new spring + emulator for my front suspension, but i was wondering if changing the rear for a 2 way shock relly improve the experience on the street. I saw an extensive review here for the rpm 2 way, but it was for track.

what do you think people ?

Questions for you.

What is your rear preload setting set to now?
How much weight are you putting on the bike, rider with gear and luggage?
Just did the GSXR shock today. It rides way better, handles a little bit better over bumps (wasn't pushing it) and feels like it's sticking down much better. Haven't really gotten to thrash it though. Got mine for $20.36 shipped. Preload is backed off all the way, and I haven't messed with the damping yet. If you're not going to the track every weekend (and maybe even if you are) just get a GSXR or ZX6R shock and modify it to fit.
