Which one?

There are a lot of rear shocks, made by a lot of different companies over the last 50 years.

If I had to venture a guess, my BGM probably has around 160-180lbs spring pressure. Feels a lot like my Protec. Stronger than my 1963 LI shock but not as hard as my Yamaha R6.

Im fitting a fox shock and would like a spring around the standard sort off ballpark because compresion is adjustable.

what do People use on the R1 shock?
