Rear shock upgrade for 2007 F650GS?

Does anyone have any recomendations? Riding two up to South America in Dec. 2010 and looking for some advice on this.

Thanks,

Frank & Jenn
Enjoy the ride!

Have a look at Wilbers - they make a huge difference-
I had contacted the Hyperpro people but they told me they did not make the one for my single zap Dakar- so it was Wilbers and very glad I am :0)

There is quite a lot of suspension discussion on ukgser.com so have a look to see if there's something which may help you.

I have Hyperpro lowered springs on my F800GS, though the rear shock body is the original one. Wouldn't want to go two up round the world on it!

There are now parts to fit on the front forks which make them fully adjustable, which I feel is the biggest thing lacking from the F800GS. One day I'll justify buying some!
