Usually that wheelie question is about how to make enough power to do it, not what shocks are best. Give us some more details- like what year and model you have, mods, etc.

I would think going to a 13" would help. The higher the rear of the bike the easier it should come up.

Actually, a shorter shock moves more weight the the rear tire contact patch and lessons it in the front.

this will do it

if you want to buy shocks anyway i have been happy with my Ricor 12.5 sport tune.
the only shocks i have used on my bikes are progressive, ricor and stock. so i dont know much about the other brands.

Well if he is not a troll I say asking this question sure show's the rider does not have the skill set needed to be worrying about doing wheelies. or i highly doubt he be asking such a question.
