dragbanshee98 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 here is a better pic of the shocks... i just run 300' dirt drags with the bike so i do not need alot of travel in the front... i agree i do not recommend these for hill shoots or dunes but they are awesome for what i need :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragbanshee98 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 my tdr shocks.... my marvin shaw comps yea i do like the looks of the marvins and all... but i got my shocks for just under 100 dollars a set brand new :cool: they have prolly 3-3 1/2 inches of travel which is more than i need for my app, and are pretty stiff for bein so small in diameter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanYE west Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 If all you do is run track.. why not just go full struts?? Them things just dont make sense to me I guess.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragbanshee98 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 If all you do is run track.. why not just go full struts?? Them things just dont make sense to me I guess.. i want the bike to have some give to it somewhere... i have seen where people that run solid frames break and bend things cause there is no give, just a bit of caution, plus with this i can have my body weight transfer matter a little more with the front having some play to it :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POORBOY350 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 what kind of shocks would you go with if you wanted a drag shock but still wanted to do more duning and riding? i dont think i could go to marvins. i like them tdr shocks tho. 300ex shocks will bring it way down and will be cheap.

shanYE west Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I was going to get 300ex works dual rates for my stock chassis setup. They measure 13" eye to eye and put the arms just on the positive side. (Above parallel to the ground) Just need to make sure they're valved for a heavier rider since most banshee's use a longer swingarm which puts more weight on the front then what they would see on a 300ex. I went with Marvin shaw Hill shooters on my current setup. I went that route because if I wanted something a lil more plush.. they can be converted into a coil-over where the comps can't be.. The only other option was 300ex fox floats. but.. I didn't wantt to spend 650 bones on a shock that wouldn't see much dune time. I couldn't be happier with my hill shooters though.. They'll set them up for your specific application.. if your not happy with them.. you can send them back and the first revalve is free.
