I'm fairly new to riding. My original shocks, like everyone else are trash. I'm looking for a solid replacement and I found a set from Common Motor for about $100. Just curious if anyone had used their shocks before and how they compare with other shocks.

I have not used them, but the ones in the attached link had some positive reviews on here at one time.

I should have clarified earlier, but I casually ride. Occasionally I'll find a nice windy hwy but I'm still a new rider. I may or may not have my gf ride with me. She weighs about 130 lbs and I'm at 180 lbs myself. I would like to make this bike more nimble and from what I've read so far ANY shock is better than the originals. If I use a pack it would be light. No more than 40lbs on the rare occasion that I plan on backpacking or camping with it. Mainly would be a pack with rain gear or water and maybe a hand full of tools. I do ride this daily though

I think you would find these Progressive Shocks worth the extra $100.

I just realized these shocks cost the same as the rebuild parts for my Ohlins shock on my BMW......

those look sick. I just did a frame off and have the original patina green paint clear coated with high gloss. These should compliment the bike

That price is actually just for the shocks .... you then need to select the spring you want.

4 into 1 has them cheaper.
