Member Contributer lazyeye Posted April 22, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted April 22, 2020 Hi Everyone, I'm curious what shock options there are for the 8th gen. Searching around I see one Gentleman on this forum that installed a Penske, on eBay I see there's a brand called "YSS", and then there's the somewhat overpriced Ohlins/KTech options. Has anyone (in the US) gone with a rebuild on a DLX shock? What about compatibility with other Honda shocks that simply isn't listed on the official parts list? What's your experience? Thanks.

I'm very interested in a K-Tech rear shock, I ride with a passenger and don't have the DLX model so adjusting the preload is virtually impossible between rides. A nice shock with a remote adjuster (preferably that could bolt to where the DLX adjuster is) would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC79NC001 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I am riding on the OEM rear shock rebuilt by Jamie Daugherty ( JDM ) . Very satisfied with the result. Retains the stock remote preload adjustment too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
