Rear shock upgrade?

Hi all,
Mufflers and control modules are great, but what this bike really needs is a controlled rear shock.
The lack of rebound control is ludicrous. How can you go fast with out rebound control?

Who has the lead on an aftermarket shock, that will allow all of us to ride this beauty with out fear of being bucked?

Not to mention the front forks.....they need a cartridge retrofit. Fellow fz07 owners, it's not until this bike has proper suspension that its power potential can be fully utilized.

Cheers

ordered my Penske shock today - getting the double adjust. I also got hooked up with a Penske partner to provide my bike as a donor to develop a front fork retro improvement. This will take a bit to develop but will post results when finished. Will be sweet to have this bike with decent suspension front and rear.....then the bike can be ridden closer to its potential!!

Were`d those forks come from? and how do they work out for you?
I just received my new Penski rear shock. Its very very sweet. I got the Dual adjust (rebound and high speed compression). Recommended the Penski.
