Recommendation on Rear shock for K100rS

[davel]

Rear shock is losing its dampening and causing the bike to wallow a bit. Its the stock shock with over 30K miles on it, I ride 99% solo and weight about 220 lbs. Progrssive, Ohlins, Works oh my? Thanks for your inputs :clap

I put a Progressive 420 rear shock on my 87 K100RT 5 years ago, and i'm real satisfied with it. I'ts probably about half the cost of a Works or Olins. It depends on how much your pocketbook can stand.

Thanks, I leaning towards the progressive. All the BMW dealers seem to carry it and recommed it and its only about 50 bucks more than an OEM replacement... :thumb
