    Nitron, Maxton/Hyperpro for the rear shock mate.
    That will leave you plenty of cash to get the front forks revalved and re-sprung to suit.

    Changing the rear shock is easy as long as you have the correct stand to take the weight off of the swingarm. Ie a abba stand.

    I have a Hyperpro shock on the SP1 and it really is lush.

    You can get second hand ohlins for 350 from the uk no issue they come up on eBay all the time, then just get it resprung. Think its a professional job though to even respring so maybe a freshen up at the same time... The. Get the front springs and perhaps revalve if the budget can stretch. Easy to fit, can also help out if sps isn't available. You just keep the bacon butties coming haha
