i got shocks and will build the rods, how much for the rest?

more travel is always a good improvement in my book.

i dunno, but id def not be sendin any CC #'s like that. maybe ask him about paypal or money order?

are you sure they arent just a dealer? meaning its the same shock..........

exactly.

i dont think so

Just buy John's shock. A new Racetech sealhead is $50 alone. Add in oil and labor, and you might as well have rebuilt the whole thing.

rapid tap, or tap magic is what my buddy/machinists uses

well then i wanna see pics matt, gahh.

but what hobbyist needs to build something with 2in plate?

id say something steel.

take that can off you shock and have it polished/chromed.

no, hes not stupid. they retail for like 485 a piece. so some naive sap will gladly pay 350 each.

why did someone ask if she rejetted for a bigger bore? i dont think i have ever heard of that before. i mean really, that extra 8 CC's or whatever gonna lean you out that bad?

well i made that part up. ha

second!

it also doesnt contract or expand in relation to temperature, thats why its great for tires. think superbike, thats all those guys will use. im sure many other pavement sports have gone the same way.

gold valve rebuild kit. new valves, shims and oil. springs couldnt hurt, but thats an eibach PN#

they may be different, cause i know the brakes were, so the mounts maybe diff. call a dealership and gave them look the OEM parts up, then ask if the PN#'s are the same, that should tell you.

mine was less than 175 OTD. but i also worked for a dealership and get some pretty good deals. plus the service manager was a racetech instructor, so its a pretty damn good working shock.

the shocks are capable, especially with some racetech parts in them.

do a search on it, its been discussed many times, its a great read for a primer in susp.

you should be ok if you got the 40mm kit. its not gonna matter really whether its for a bike or not. they include mucho valving shims. however! this is important, YOU HAVE TO BUY A NEW SEAL HEAD! you WILL DESTROY your OEM one removing it. read this thread i wrote. and if you have any q's PM me. http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...mp;hl=race+tech

ya well, ya know? why not spend money on it instead? haha. i guess i could estimate. measure the visible shock shaft, plus 50% of the bottom out bumper? i can take mine apart, but where would i measure?
