my m2 has the longer showa rear shock with the srp kit on it. is it worth tracking down a 14 inch shock upgrade kit ? is there a noticeable handling improvement with the newer shock or should i just save up and go aftermarket ? what is the best after market shock in peoples experience? i`m full of questions today

Can only be an AST available from a member, Ronnie in Holland

i was thinking that was the way to go. have you tried one?

I have and others will tell you the same thing, it's the best thing you can bolt to your bike...in short a revelation

had one for the last three years on my X1. Good performance over every road surface , and i'm not the lightest at 17 stone.

all good, thanks for that

just a thought, will i still need the 14 inch shock front mount

Ronnie will tell you what you need Buells handle well despite the dreadful rear shocks they have fitted, the AST will transform your bike

I've been playing with some pretty high end Ohlins + Ktec stuff recently, you have to wind the adjusters a fair way before you can tell a difference; and they needed a lot of time and effort to rid them of a lot of stiction (and they're still not right ). The AST is superior in all respects
