When riding solo the stock shocks and many after-market shocks are fine. By that I mean many riders are quite happy with them. The real test of stock shocks and many other brands comes when riding 2-up, especially loaded up for that grand tour. That is when they are tested beyond their capabilities, to provide an acceptable ride.
Unfortunately too many members when they comment on shocks do not tell us if they are talking of riding solo or duo. That makes all these shock threads very frustrating! If you are interested in changing shocks, to get a better ride when 2-up, pass by any replies that do not make clear what they are talking about.

Too true of most threads here concerning anything. Back to the OP question: read some of Race Tech's Suspension Bible and you will opt for the adjustable damping. And you will learn how to set the suspension up for you and whatever load you carry. The book is more detail than most of us will ever need but that is true of most books. It should be part of every biker's library and should be used along side the factory manual.
