Yep! I have one! I like it a lot. It's not the greatest shock ever, but for the money, it's a good upgrade.

It's a little taller than stock - raises the back by about 1/2 of an inch while you're on it.

It has adjustable preload - I'm 140 in gear, and I have it set on the 2nd from lowest setting, maybe a bit stiff, but it feels better to me than on the lowest setting.

Other than that, it feels pretty much the same. It's a little less soggy feeling than the pregen shock, and it seems to rebound just as quickly without any pogo feeling, so it works for me. Definitely worth the $40-ish I payed for it.

If you're looking for something that's fully adjustable, you'll want to check out all the cool aftermarket shocks made for the new-gen. When I have the ability to buy a brand new bike for myself, I'll go the fully-adjustable aftermarket shock and gold valve emulators route. For now, I like my setup.
