While that is/was a common modification for the R1100RS and RT, the 1150's don't
benefit from the change the way the 1100's did.  Same with the suspension.  The
R1150's stockers are much better than the 1100's and it will probably be a lot
more than 9k before you'll notice a vast improvement from aftermarket shocks on
an 1150.
