Howzit,
Not in the country at the moment, but as soon as I'm back I need to either service, or replace my shocks and springs on my GSA. It's the non-electronic model. End of last year I did some rides with the missus, and then noticed that the bike wallows a lot, feels like a boat.

What are my options? I would like something that would be-able to take the weight I want to transport. Which will be my 120kg, the missus 65kg, and perhaps a little extra here and there, so probably around the 200kg mark.

Should I save up and get Ohlins? Has anyone done this, is it worth it?
What other brands should I be looking at for a complete solution, or should I just do the OEM again?

I'm really not very clued up with this subject. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
