Hello! I'm looking for some advice concerning shocks. I'm thinking it's probably about time to change mine. I have 101,000 miles on my 99 Ironman with the original shocks. I don't do any offroad driving. I have 18" Enkei Chrome w/ Nitto 404 tires. I've read in the posts that the stock shocks are a bit pricy.

I'd like to know:

1) What do people feel are good replacement shocks? I'm looking to spend under $100 a corner, if possible.

2) Are they too difficult to replace at home? I'm hardly a mechanic, but I have managed to change the oil, fluids and spark plugs as well as install a new head unit / XM radio without blowing up anything too badly. I do have a floor jack and some stands, as well as a torque wrench.

Thanks much!
