Here's my take of the Bobber OEM shock v. Fox Racing shock
BUY THE FOX SHOCK RIGHT NOW!!!!
I've rode Bobbers since February when my dealership got our first one. My Matt Caspian Blue was on order so I rode demo bikes. Since February I've rode over 1500 miles on several Bobbers on the stock shock and now my personal bike has the Fox shock installed. For me (6'1", 245 lbs) the stock shock offers too much float and bottoms out very quickly under any sudden compression (highway bumps) and the rebound is terrible. It's a true production piece designed for the average weight rider (170 lbs) that simply rides down the highway humming along.
Now the Fox...all I can say is wow!
The stock bike handles well. The Fox shock made the bike a predictable canyon carver and comfortable commuter,totally transformed my riding experience. I'm running on the stiffer side right now, at 7 clicks and it's not beating me up. At $750 it's not a cheap upgrade. However, my friends don't pay retail ?
