I just installed my new YSS piggyback shocks. They sure are pretty. I haven't had a chance to ride the bike or dial them in but can't wait.

I have to agree with Tony, you have one of my favorite 650's on this site, and it just keeps getting better.

I'll be waiting to read your opinion of those shocks, sure will be nice to get a report on your experiences with them before I lay out my hard earned $$$ :)

I finally got to ride the bike with the new shocks. I didn't do anything but put them on, no adjustments. WOW what a difference! The bike is very stable and doesn't bounce all over anymore.
I never believed a shock change could make any differnce but now I wish I had done this years ago.
The bike used to bounce over the ridges on the road now the suspension takes it all and the ride is much smoother. In the twisties the chassis doesn't get unsettled and start to bounce over bumps. The suspension now just sucks them up. Can't wait to fine tune them.

They aint cheap, $684.00 but I have tried numerous cheaper shocks over the years including a set of Fox shocks. I was disapointed with them all. I was getting to the point where I didn't think any shock would help. This was going to be my last shock purchase so I sucked it up and paid for good quality pair.
