Default Re: Sorry to ask but...rear shock?

Does anyone know where I can find the link for the spreadsheet which lists all the compatable shocks with their length, spring rate etc?
I know I've seen it on here somewhere but I just cant find it
Thanks in advance

would a Busa shock be adjustable for a 150 lb rider?

No, it will be WAY too stiff. The Busa shock is too stiff for a pointy (2003 on) unless you are VERY, VERY heavy. For a curvy (99-02) the spring rates are higher due to different linkage, but the Busa shock is still only suitable if you are over 16st (225lbs) IMHO.

Use the table above to find a shock with a spring rate similar to stock, as that is pretty close for a 11st (150lb) rider.
