The stock shock blows, a worn stock shock blows even more. I'm 140lb and I have it on 5...still too soft (38k mile shock though)

I only have 10k on my bike though.. I was thinking of changing it to 6 but IDK .. Yeah , It does blow but I don't have a bunch of money to get a new one than modify it.. i guess they don't make those Fox shocks anymore..

fox shocks are done being made. You can run across one on ebay every so often but they go for $300 on average. You can score r6 shocks pretty cheap and modify that.
