Who has upgraded their 1150GS suspension, front, rear or both? I've read up a bit and guys who have replaced OEM shock for Ohlins says the difference is almost like day and night. There are other brands too, Welsh has got a aftermarket rear shock.

My question really is, is it worth it. Second hand you can still get reasonablish prices, new...

Which aftermarket shocks is best?
Would you suggest replacing rear, front or both is finances is a factor?
What difference does better shocks make on tar, dirt?
Would you wait until OEM shcok is shod, before upgrading? Or when do you know you need it?
