Recommendations for Rear shock replacement DRZ

[strmboui]

Among the stable of 4 motorcycles is one 2008 DRZ 400. However, the OEM rear shock is not adequate to sustain my weight (200lbs) and my camping gear (60lbs) with out bottoming out on other than smooth single track. I have tightened the spring by about 3 turns but the dampening almost feels non existent. I checked for oil leaks to see if the shock gave up the ghost but no indicators or tell tale signs of leakage. So looking for a replacement that isn't going to break the bank but will do the job!

Any Suggestions?

Remove the shock from the bike and take it to Jim at Racers Edge in Lakewood. He will overhaul the shock and install a stiffer spring for your weight and gear, and for much less than a new shock. His number is 303.986.2107

Or Dave at STM suspension. Good guy who knows his stuff beyond 90% of what we'll ever know.
