HAs anyone upgraded their rear suspension, im keen to do this as the standard isnt sufficient for when im riding 2 up, ive seen some really expensive and some really cheap systems and was wondering if anyone could assist, budget isnt huge TBH.

I found this one following a guy on Instagram
Shark factory X2 P36


I’ve got in touch with them and they offered me $650 delivered to US
I can customize colors as well

Does anyone have experience with or know this brand?

I have tried upgrading rear suspension on crappy twin shock bikes without any success. I heard from other owners (of Moto Guzzi v750 bikes ) that satisfactory upgrading of front and rear suspension could be done for about £1,000. I have found suspension on recent Honda bikes ( NC700X, CBF1000FA, CB650F ) ok.
Can't you adjust preload of rear shock to allow for 2 up riding and see if that helps.

Honda painted the old rear shock yellow for the new cbr, the only reason for that is that it mimics Ohliins....the shock they would like to put on it but can't afford to....there's you're answer, even if you have to wait a few more months to save some £ , it's the only way to go.....imo :)

Nitron are in the UK and sell a rear shock.
I just placed an order for a Nitron NTR-R1 shock with a black spring from Fast Bike Industries since they are the only North American distributor for their products.

Hey man, how do you like the Nitron NTR-R1? Does it make the ride more comfortable on bumpy roads?
