I've got a GS125 and was wondering if I could replace the rear shocks for bigger ones to raise the seat height a little to improve handling.

Is this possible and if so, would it improve handling / make it worse?

I was thinking that if I can do this Hagon shocks would be a good place to get something to suit. Any ideas?

Thanks.

EDIT: Just added a pic so you can see the shocks.

Hi

Raising the back like that might just make it nervous and nasty.

All the best
