All shocks are expensive (250.00 and up a shock) but I like the Works brand myself! Elkas are pretty nice too!

Right now mine are stock tho I have ridden many machines with shocks. The cool thing is that you set up the shocks to your exact specifications IE riding style and weight and you will be plesently surprised at the changes it does for your machine. I will be ordering Works as soon as I save up enough $$$$$$! If you have not done so already adding a good set of radial tires helps as well such as the Maxxis Bighorns! These will make a big change in handling and with a wheel spacer it will even that much more!
