I've go the 440 on my RG. Major improvement over the air shock. Here is the progressive web page with all their shocks.

went to the 440's and a great improvement, but if you want the best improvement call howard at motorcyclemetal.com last shock you will ever buy. I know I sound like a recording, and I don't work for him but he worked for me until it was just what I needed
