I've been looking around at rear shock options for some time now. Obvious choice is a Ohlins or Penske...but i want a 3 way adjustable and i don't have $1,200 to $1,500 laying around. Anybody use the Nitron or know anybody who has? Whats your input on it? The point I'm at is anything is better than stock, I'm really starting to notice how poorly my rear shock handles, and the fact that big bumps are actually hurting now. Also has anyone heard about these guys? http://www.daughertymotorsports.com/ They have a revalved and resprung 929 rear shock with an adapter for $420.... sounds like a smashing deal to me. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Got a shiny modded CBR929 shock from Jamie on Friday and am trying to put it in. Bike is a 2002 VFR800 non-ABS. Everything involving the rear suspension is bone-stock. No troubles getting it in the general area, but I cannot get the reservoir to clear enough to bolt it in. With the reservoir to the rear, it's hitting the battery/wire tray on the left side, and the exhaust heat shield on the right. With the reservoir to the front, it hits the brake lines that wrap around the cylinder head on the left side. It is much closer to bolting in place with the reservoir to the front, but because of the brake lines, it's a total no go. I saw several mentions of having to trim the battery box to allow the shock to clear, but I don't know that I can trim it enough (already trimmed ~0.5in off) to get it in. Any wisdom would be greatly appreciated. I'll be out back working on it some more. Will update if I manage to hold my tongue *just* right and get it in.
