That looks like many of our weathered and winter damaged roads.
Still rockin', rollin', and ridin' after all these years

I put Progressive Suspension rear shocks on my 750 Nighthawk ( as recommended by the suspension gurus on the Nighthawk forum) and then had a Traxxion AK20 kit installed on my FZ-1 along with a custom (can't remember the name right now) rear spring on the rear shock as recommended by the suspension gurus on the FZ-1 forum. In both cases I was assured the difference would be transforming. In neither case could I feel any difference from the stock forks/shocks, particular considering the amount of money spent.
I had the same experience with my Moto Guzzi V7 Classic. Read that the OEM shocks were rubbish and should be replaced as quickly as possible. I ordered Ikons and installed them. Could not really tell any difference. Plus they only lasted about 10k miles. Seals on both shocks failed. $250 to rebuild them. Ordered the parts and had them rebuilt locally for about $100. I had already put the OEM shocks back on so I sold the Ikons.
