This in today from a satisfied Matris Mono Shock Owner:
"I installed the Matris mono shock on my Bobber Friday evening and just now got to take a test ride. The difference was immediately noticeable. Under acceleration there is no sag in the suspension as before. The ride is much more solid feeling is the best way I can describe it. The bike feels like it stays under you, and handles road conditions much better. The presetting of pre-load by Matris was very helpful, since I have never done this before. The fact that this shock is made specifically for the Bobber and my specific weight is also most helpful. I don't think I will need to go through the measuring of suspension movement to arrive at the best settings. Also, the installation was trouble free. You probably do still need a lift though, as it helped line up the connection for the shock swing arm side. This was money well spent, and as I told you the Triumph upgrade from Fox Suspensions for the same thing was $750.00 plus install if needed. You should really have confidence in advertising and selling this product. When my budget allows, I will get with you about a front forks upgrade. Thanks for being knowledgeable and honest in your help."
And thank you for your kind words.
