    Rear shock spring weight for R75/6

    Hi, I'm replacing the shocks on my 1974 R75/6. I'm looking at some Girling shocks (because can get a good price on them), and there are two spring weight/spring load options: 110lbs and 126lbs. Any opinions about which would be best suited for this bike? I don't ride with a passenger, weigh...

    At about 25K, I'm looking to replace the shocks on my non-ESA 2007 R1200GS. Ohlins TTX shocks are an option, more expensive than the emulsion shocks by Ohlins, Hyperpro, Wilburs and the rest, but reasonably in line with higher end (reservoir, rebound and compression adjustment) shocks. The...
