Before my Texas trip the original Sachs shock went belly up so through Todd here at Guzzi Tech I purchased a YSS shock specifically made for the Quota. My shock was used to create a build sheet on the Quota shock and should be able to be ordered through Todd. I have to say the shock is a huge improvement with adjustable rebound and compression settings you can dial this shock in to your specific needs. The compression and rebound settingsare something like 60 clicks so there is a lot of room for fine tuning I put 4500 miles on the new shock carriyng my aluminum panniers and all my camping gear and the bike handled great. I had a blast hitting the twisties on TN 30 between McMinville and Pikeville which is a great stretch of road by the way. Anyhow this a great direct bolt on upgrade and the shock is a real quality part.
