When people say "it's like night and day" when they swap out OEM suspension components for more trick gear do they really mean it usually or is it that they spent so much that they feel it must perform better?
My present to myself of front and rear suspension swap outs for new Elka and Racetech components had to be put on hold when my pooch blew out his ACL. Now I'm looking at used stuff and wondering if the bang for the buck is worth it. My stock Triumph Tiger 1050 shock comes from the factory ideally set up for a bulimic Ethiopian dwarf, which I am not, and there's some wallow and uncertainty from it when cornering under load (panniers on). It's not too bad if I take the panniers off but still there somewhat.
for those of you with similar situations that did a swap out of components, did you think the investment was worth it?
for the record , what I'm looking at is a used Penske triple clicker rear shock (8987) and trying to get it for around $500
