fast shee Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Have +2 a arms up ft with yfz shocks chained down for the last year now but am going to upgrade to a sway bar and new shocks up ft. What length are you guys running or from what machine are you using. Have been thinking of getting some elkas but with x mas coming have to cut back on costs. Any ideas from experience? The ft end chained down is far too rough in the corners with no suspension action! Anyone try fox floats up ft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee631 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 [i use blaster shocks on my plus 2 a arms for supermoto. they are low and just the right stiffness for the asphalt yet still soft enough for the mx areas. about 2 or 3 inches lower than stock shocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motodrumer58 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I am waiting for the ice to freeze all the way here in Michigan. Last year I used stock shocks with a bottom mounted lowering kit and a sway bar.My set up right now is sporting R6 shocks all the way around. I have the sway bar mounted but not hooked up. I will bring last years set up and compare once the lakes are ready. If I can find a cheap pair of blaster shocks I am going to try those as well. I race a TRX250r too, 300ex and sway bar is the set up this yearso far. My problem is not hooking off the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any pics of the bike with the r6 shocks on and can you still use the sway bar with them? Does it matter what year R6 and could you use a R1 shock also?

motodrumer58 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I am still working on the sway bar fitment. Might not need it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motodrumer58 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 r6 all the way around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast shee Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 r6 all the way around Link is not working for me. Are the r6 shocks really stiff? If so then I will be back where I am now with the yfz shocks chained down. Just thinking with functioning front shocks (instead of stiff or chained down ), it would help with transfer and handling in the corners in stead of riding a hay wagon! Also thought of a ft lowering kit with sway bay to use up ft but dont know if the shocks would still be too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 any one reading this post should glance at this updated thread, it has a very clear standing about front shocks on ice, http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=124766 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
