Do u think a 2016 OEM rear shock is better than an Ohlins?
does it fit every generation ?

Just to be clear, Partshark is a different outfit than Partzilla. Partzilla is the same outfit as Boats.com. Partshark is not related to them.I have purchased quite a few items from Partshark, never had an issue.If you want to search for the lowest price, just put the part number into google.
Yes, Partzilla is usually the cheapest, but not always, so it is worth checking around. At one point in time they were screwing up orders, and they have always had bad communications of the order status. Most of the other online merchants give better service at a slightly higher price.
You (don't) get what you (don't) pay for.
No. The 2016 OEM shock is still an OEM shock. It has a single damping adjuster on the bottom of the shock that primarily adjusts the rebound damping, but may also affect the compression damping somewhat. There is a soft/hard lever to lock out the soft section of the spring for heavier loads (full stroke of the shock will be at the higher spring rate) and there is no preload adjuster.Do u think a 2016 OEM rear shock is better than an Ohlins?

I don't know if it fit, but I know that an ohlin's from a GEN 3 fit on a 2016 A without any issue.The Gen 3 shocks up to 2015 will fit any model year prior. Nobody has confirmed that the 2016 shock will or will not fit too, but most likely it will since they really did not do anything with the A model swingarm or suspension linkages between 2015 and 2016.
I just rode a 2016A and the shock "soft" spring rate felt much softer than my 13A. The "hard" setting on the 2016 was a noticeable improvement both in ride quality and handling for my 220 lb body but I suspect it would be be undersprung for me if I were riding 2-up.Has anyone tried a 2016 shock on their non-2016 FJR? Can anyone confirm if the spring rate on the 2016 shock is the same as the 2013-2015 shock? I' curious since I want to slap an Gen III shock on my 08, but am wondering if I should get a 2013-2015 or a 2016. What exactly are the differences between those two items?
