crf50 rear shock. Which one?

I am trying to decide which shock to get. I do not know about the i shock, or i read a forum about the elka that sounded prety good. Or the fox air shock. I have a +3 rear swing arm and new front forks already. What shock should i get? And i weigh about 200lbs

Don't mean to hijack, but do the Elka's fit +3. When I talked to Elka on the phone they said it's recommended for max +2.

im gonna be running a similar setup with a +3 swinger, forks and, i-shock with res. I dont have my forks yet but I love the feel of the i-shock so far. That would be my pick..IMO.

Re: crf50 rear shock. Which one?

do not get a ishock! DO NOT GET A ISHOCK! i just sent mine back for a warranty job and it cost me $30 to get it shiped from australia, they put a replacement spring in because there was a defected spring in it and it broke, and now they want $125 for shiping! WTF! so now all up its going to cost me $155 to get my old shock with a new spring back, for that price i could of just about got a brand new one!
