[blaster01]

well ghees i would say forsomeone who ways that much orthat lttle a stock one would be good i would think..i mean i no everyone says stock sucks but id say most people oh here are close or over 150

 

[Braapbraap95]

Get a 250r... I was 150 and it used to bottom out so it'd be perfect for you.

i wouldnt do it...looks alittle sketchy

don't go with any street bike shocks, they have very little travel and the valving isn't set-up for big bumps.
What's your price range? Used shocks are usually pretty reasonable. I purchased a custom axis for mine for $225

a 400ex shock is amazing!!!! and cheap

YFZ450...but your a bean pole...23 years old and 115lbs...or are you not really 23 or 115 lbs.
