I almost always send my shit to Race Tech but I don't know what he is paying for that shock. A guy CEO's size is exactly what the stock components of that bike were made for...he probably could have made due with some re-valving,etc. On the other hand,hey it's his loot,if he's got it why not?
Besides,considering what I think his long range plans are,he'll be needing top-shelf components eventually,so why not now if he can afford it?
