Hi everyone, I'm in need of new rear shocks for a /09 R3 touring. I was wondering what everyone is going with. I don't want to pay $1,000 Canadian for a set.

I put Hagon Nitros on mine,but it was so many years ago that I don't remember the price. They were an improvement.

You'll have to look around. Sometimes you can find a good set on Ebay. I Had Hagon Nitros on my 05 and loved them. Back in 07 when I bought them they were $660 USD. Wilbers makes a really good shock. Ohlins is what I have on my Bobber, K-Tek on my T-120. Shop around a little and you'll find the solution.
