which direction to go
At a 65-67" wheelbase how much trouble am i going to have if i am using a stock shock? im guessing quite a bit but idk...is it going to be do able at all on the track or am i further ahead to get it revalved now. which brings me to my next question if i get a revalved shock setup for my length and weight does the shock be come totally useless for two up riding my bike is ridden on the street more then it will be on the track. so should i invest in a revalved shock or just call it good with my stocker? if i do get a revalve do i need the bigger spring added too? and are my only options adams, racetech, bmc? which are all around the same of 500 for a revalve job correct?

It's not a must you get a revalved shock. I cut close to the same 60ft's I did with my stock shock, it's just more consistant and doesn't spin as bad now.
I don't think you understand how a revalved shock works if your asking if it will be good for 2 up riding. (and I'm not 100% on how they work)
But bascially a revalved shock is a shock with new valves that allows each "click" or turn of the adjustment screw gives it more adjustment.
Yes the fevalved shock will work with any kind of riding you do. You might have to adjust it to get the most out of it, but that's any suspension setup you do

With the stock shock and spring, two up riding sucked at 66 in wb. Even with the spring run up tight. A gen 2 busa spring on my revalved stock shock was a world of difference better. Btw, you can get a revalve done for around $300 that includes a new spring from places like Traxxion Dynamics, etc.
