suspension mods

Hi guys, I have only recently purchased an 04 bird with approx 110,000kms. I don't believe that much has been done to the suspension by its previous owners. I was wondering if anyone has tried the CBR1000RR rear shock as an upgrade option? I apologise if this thread already exists. Cheers Muddy

Alright total noob to modding bikes (4runners are a different story!), Does it matter if you upgrade the forks or rear shock first? Eventually want a Penske ($$$$) back there, but in the meantime would it be unwise to upgrade the front with something like heavier racetechs and leave the rear...
