good fort you.&nbsp\\; You can get them valved &amp\\; pressure changed as well as re-sprung to suit your body &amp\\; riding style as they are not adjustable as far as I know.&nbsp\\; Good shocks make a big difference and so does a good front end even more so.

yeah that sounds like a whole bunch of crap,, invest in something worthwhile, like progressives or if you can stretch then go up to something like Ohlins..
