I'm looking to upgrade my standard shock to an adjustable one for better comfort and commuting. The standard can be awfully stiff at times and I think the FTR was built to have an adjustable rear, like the new Rally model. But what are the aftermarket choices? The only one I see as a viable option is from Hyperpro. Are there any other ones I should consider?

Progressive Suspension in Southern California will have theirs on the website by Mid August.

They borrowed my FTR and used it to develop fork springs and the shock. The part number for the shock is 465-1194B.

Oh btw, I may be selling my RR shock in a few weeks, in case someone with a base FTR is interested.

I think I'm going go with the Progressive once it's released. Also is there any special installation trick for a monoshock? Or is it just like a dual shock install?

Unbolt old one. Bolt in new one. Takes 10min.

I’d buy maxes rr shock that will be much cheaper unless you want height adjustability.

Also if you install an adjustable rear. You will find you will want adjustable cartridges up front as well.

The problem I notice on bumps is my back which would be the rear if I'm correct. I don't have any problem with the front. Height is perfect no adjustment needed.

I have a base model too , no problems with the rear shock !

How much do you weigh?

 

[Massimo]

75 KG naked !

 

[Techno Bobber]

That might explain it. I come in at 225lbs about 102KG. So I think my weight is why I'm experiencing the bumps through my spine.

 

[Max Kool]

That’s odd actually, unless it’s bottoming out, it should actually feel softer at 225lbs. What are your bike’s rear sag numbers?

 

[Massimo]

Maybe change your seat position ? Handlebar more forward ?

 

[Techno Bobber]

It's showroom floor OEM I'll have to see if I need to adjust it.

Mine , static sag ;15mm , riders sag 50mm !

 

[ferraiolo1]

Your manual explains how to set the spring tension for your weight.

If it’s set very soft. That could be your issue.

General advice for rear is around 25%, you may want to up the preload to around 37-40mm and try that. As long as you don’t run out of static sag that is.

I set mine at 10mm static, 36mm rider sag.

I could offer you a fully adjustable Race Replica shock for less.
