Racetech stock rear shock
Has anyone had any experience getting their stock shock revalved, maybe resprung from Racetech?
I'm thinking of doing this instead of the aftermarket versions which I can't afford.
Opinions?

Re: Racetech stock rear shock
hi bud,
I picked up a stock recently re-valved Race Tech shock on eBay (was set-up fpr rider 180-200 lbs) and found it to be a noticeable improvement over the OEM set-up. The ride is smoother and more controlled. Square-edge bumps no longer have my butt reaching for the sky either. The addition of this part along with RT fork springs (and a cartridge mod) have totally transformed the bike.
I say go for it

What was the cartridge mod that worked for you?
Valve porting?
Shim stack?
Drilled bleed hole?
Also what oil weight used?
Thanks,
