I am considering an upgrade to my 03' R1150 GS Sport Suspension. It currently has 34k miles, I plan on keeping the bike 4 ever. I ride solo and I ride 80/20 street/ dirt roads. Nothing considered off road. I am planning a long trip, maybe out to Yosemite from NY. I just can not justify spending $1800 on a pair of shocks to upgrade to stock suspension. Can anyone here offer some first hand experience that can justify such an expense? The OEM shocks are not blown and I do realize there are no fine adjustments such as rebound rate etc... and I don't want to be loaded up with the weight panniers and gear and have the shocks blow out 2000 miles from home, but the cost to go to a set of Ohlins or just about any other reputable shock is OUTRAGEOUS! Please offer me some advice.
