Which R3 you looking at? The R3T has different geometry and front end rear shock s than the R3R. I have never had to switch any out since it was fine for me...

Haai. Hoe gaan dit met jou? (thank you Google

Welcome to the site from New Jersey, Jay.
The stock rear shocks are a bit harsh, so the cognoscenti doe swap them out for the aforementioned hagons, Progressives and Wilburs in descending order of popularity. It shouldn't be necessary to mess with the front springs unless you have in specific, generally unusual, load or riding conditions that might call for upgraded progressively wound ones.

Roadsters have better rear shockies than the earlier Standard/Classic models . Roadsters have progressive springs in their back shockies .. like I suggested just go take one for a ride , you'll know if it's the bike for you or not.
