I have found a set of Ohlins shocks for my 2004 GSA.  A new set is currently $1,495 usd front and rear from Wunderlich USA.

The set I'm after only have approximately 100 miles of ride time.  Yeah, I thought the same thing, how can someone install a set of $2,200 usd shocks (that's what they cost years ago) and only put 100 miles on the bike post installation....  so I asked the seller....turns out he was a dealer and owned upwards of 75 personal bikes  :imaposer: :imaposer:

I can buy the set for $800 usd.

My question:  is it really that much much improvement over stock?  It was on my Ducati's, but my GSA rides pretty decent with factory shocks until the bumps get big.

Buy?  Yes or No

Thank you for your time in helping me decide.
