How will it compare to the sachs one?

Or if I am gonna get something should I go the whole hog and get something new like a nitron?

Providing its got some damping at present, you just need some track time on it. A new shock is not going to catapult you to the front. Until you are on that grid as you haven't raced yet you will be somewhat surprised at the mayhem. Particularly first corner.

I did my first season on a std 600ss shock. Then made a 748 Ohlins one fit that was given to me. Then when a new Maxton came up cheap for a 748 I bought that and its what I'm still using.

You can't use a 748 one without some modification tho'.
