So Cal Suspension

On banshee shocks, you have to unthread the lower eyelet to remove the spring. Unless you have access to a spring compressor, I wouldn't attempt it.

DDU might be flying in from Australia.

Definitely hit up John at JL Engineering. He does incredible work, fast turnaround, and you can't beat his customer service.

Just did an Elka rear shock for Nieskes. Immediate payment, and super nice dude.

My buddy has an 09 z06. We just installed the front rollers on his subframe last weekend. No more front end scraping. It took literally less than 30 minutes to install them. Best $34 he's ever spent, he said. We don't have the problems with animals everywhere, here so that's not a concern. Either way, if you're happy, that's all that matters.

Any chance of a trade-back? If that car didn't come with Megan Fox in the front seat, you got taken... LOL. I'm kidding. I like those camaros, but I don't know that I would have made that trade.

The only real difference in a pro-trax front end, and a standard long travel front end, is the spindles and clevis' on the arms. Rather than running heims on the arms, they run the heims on the spindles turned 90 degrees so there is no lateral movement, and can extend itself longitudinally until the shock is fully extended. They claim you can get 16" of travel out of their front end, but that is not likely on a banshee, as the a-arm pivot points on a banshee is so wide, you are limited on shock length. Take for example, a YFZ450R front end: Almost completely center mounted a-arms. I've seen long travel setups for these bikes run 20-22" shocks. You would have to have +6 or better a-arms on a banshee to run shocks that long. Long shocks doesn't ALWAYS equal longer travel. It's all where the lower mount is. You could run 11" shocks and have the lower mount as close to the a-arm pivot as possible, and pull 12-14" of travel. The bike would ride like complete and utter shit but it's possible. It's pretty old technology that the race industry gave up years ago. ATV suspension is pretty far behind in terms of technology. I see stuff all the time being introduced as "the first of it's kind" in the ATV world, but has been used for EVER on sand cars, and race vehicles. So yes, it's a great front end. Do I think the average person would benefit much from it? Probably not. If you're not skying the bike over 110ft gaps at 30ft in the air, get some nice longtravel arms, and some good shocks, use your stock spindles, and save some money in the process.

Doug. The price for the rebuild on the Works rear shock is $75 plus parts and shipping. Parts for the Works rear shock could be one of two different kits, either $22.00, or $36.00 depending on the model of seal head installed in the shock. My shipping to Canada is Via USPS Priority International, and only costs you $15. I absorb the rest of the shipping costs.

Hahahahahahaha he pm'd me ingredients!!! F off all of you!!!

All of my pricing is on my website. www.socalsuspensionsystems.com Or you can PM me and I can get you a quote. It will vary depending on spring size, finishes, etc.

Oh thank god, an argentinian... Seriously, I need a good chimichurri recipe... I'm not joking. PM me your family recipe.

Mother of everything holy. If you won't listen to these guys, maybe you'll listen to me. DO NOT BUY KIMPEX SHOCKS. They are complete garbage, and a waste of money. They will NOT last you more than a few rides. Good enough? If you're really pressed for cash, buy a set of used stock front shocks. Someone just posted a set today for sale. I think I've seen 6 or 7 sets posted for under $50 shipped in the last two weeks.

I think I'm gunna pass unless there is a significant amount of people that confirm they are going. The one in June was a flop, and I don't feel like driving 5 hours to see the same 8 bikes run the hill all night... =\

Same story here. Send me the pictures and I'll post them.

Just for the record, I don't know this guy, just posting the pictures for him.

Damn, I wish I knew where that was!!! I'd be riding that shit all day every day! For what it's worth, this is the weather for Brawley, 15 minutes outside of Glamis. http://www.weather.com/weather/today/Brawley+CA+USCA0126

Sweet video, too. Too bad there's no video of that sweet Chevy Suburban with the LED lightbar on the roof... That thing was SAAAWEEEEET.

The black bike, pipes out the left side.

That's like going from a VW Beetle to a Ferrari. LOL. Floats are excellent for a recreational bike. The main benefit to them is their adjustability; transversely, it is also their biggest flaw. If you do a lot of different types of riding, the floats are an excellent option. If you do one main type of riding, get a traditional coilover. The Float's air spring has a tendency to change spring rates with temperature changes. Since you use regular air, there is a significant amount of moisture in the air which expands and contracts with temperature changes. I've seen as much as 1.6kg/mm in springrate change, just by dynoing the shock in the morning, vs the heat of the afternoon. In conclusion, floats are excellent shocks with tons of potential. If you like playing with your setup, get em. If you want a solid, perfect setup that won't change, go with Axis or Elka. My preference is Axis.
