New member first post. I just bought a real nice S3 after not having a two stroke for 45 years (many bikes though). Question is, I've normally replaced original rear shocks on my bikes and wonder what you guys do, change or stay with stock, i haven't ridden the bike enough to make my own mind up yet. cheers

Have Hagons on most of my bikes. Good shoks make a big difference with a modern tyre.

Depends how hard you're riding I guess? If you're just cruising around standard is probably fine.
If your pushing the boundaries then after market

No thanks, I've had Girlings and Hagons in the past and that's why I buy Ikons/Koni.
