Rear Shock

Hello,

Looking for a recommendation for a rear shock for my 1995 R100RT. Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
 
For my BMW bikes I have used shocks from the vendors listed below with good success. In each instance I contacted the vendor and provided specifics such as anticipated weight range on the bike and riding style (e.g., touring, sporty, desire soft ride, etc.). There were options to consider including adjustability for damping and preload. Typically, I install the shock from the vendor and then don't fool with them. Shocks have come from Hagon, Wilburs, and YSS. Links to vendors that I have used follow -
