Rear Shock NX650?

Just made it back from a London to Singapore trip. Want to fix up my Dommie a bit as it's tired.
Anyone got any good advice about rear shocks? I would like to build it for two up for it's next trip to Morocco.
It's a 1992 model.
Cheers

Had mine replaced with a technoflex one, tougher springs and with emulsion. Too many things to fiddle with now, low/high speed- rebound, static etc etc... Altough they say they got one for the dommie (97 in my case) its good i went around to build it in, the had to make some ' adjustments' for it to fit. Next time i would just go for heavier springs, that should do the trick.

Spud, just wondering on your trip do you change anything to your front suspension? Technoflex do progressive springs and thicker oil for 140euro or cheaper if you do it yourself...

Hi gozell,
No didn't do anything to front suspension but that is definately an area I would like to spend some time on. Far too much dipping going on there! I shall have a look at Technoflex as you suggest.. cheers
