Thanks for letting us know about your shocks.
Does it ride smoother now or firmer? I put Monroe Reflexes on the wife's Exploder and they sure made it handle better but they are a bit firmer than stock. They got rid of a lot of the "top heavy" feel.
A lot of times people dont realize how bad their shocks are until they are replaced.
