Infamous039 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Posted April 19, 2012 I know there have been numerous question about the Alba Gulf Wing Arms and what shocks will work for the long travel. So finally located shocks after speaking to Craig at Alba Racing on the phone regarding what is needed to complete the Long Travel on these particular arms. So I was able to locate a fresh set of Fox Float Evols already valved for my weight. The shocks are 17" eye to eye, which is what Alba recommended for the arms. Here are a few pics of the shocks installed and setup for there first ride out. Quote
Infamous039 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Posted April 20, 2012 Thanks fellas, I will have to report bike on ride quality this weekend hopefully Quote
Buckwheat Posted April 20, 2012 Report Posted April 20, 2012 Very interested to hear how it rides. Quote
Infamous039 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Posted April 20, 2012 Hope to get it out a ride this weekend, I will report back sunday afternoon. Very interested to hear how it rides. Quote
KAMIKAZE Posted April 20, 2012 Report Posted April 20, 2012 thats a nice looking bike, seems to be alot of people using these fox shocks hopefully there is no complaints with them Quote
SAVAGE420 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Posted April 20, 2012 Nice. I have the same front end. Just with the newer Gen 2 Fox Float X Evols. Quote
Infamous039 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Posted April 20, 2012 How you like them?? I was gonma grab some gen 2 but after speaking to fox there wasnt enough justification to spend the extra money on them for basically same shock. Nice. I have the same front end. Just with the newer Gen 2 Fox Float X Evols. Quote
ginger Posted April 20, 2012 Report Posted April 20, 2012 im mad jelly. shit i would be happy if i could find some nice shocks in my budget. Quote
decon Posted April 21, 2012 Report Posted April 21, 2012 Looks good, I am also curious to know how that setup rides. A buddy of mine runs fox shocks on standard travel +2 a-arms, he say's they are well worth the coin. I personally haven't rode his bike so I wouldn't know how good they ride. I'm running 16 1/4" tripple rate works on my LT front end, I'm wondering if I should upgrade. Quote
Infamous039 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Posted April 22, 2012 Didnt get to ride this weekend cause everyone cancelled and then the rain came. I will report back next weekend. Quote
06BCBANSHEE Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 Looks sick man. Nice paint job to btw. When I was looking for shocks for my LT arms everyone said stay away from fox because the banshee is to heavy, curious to see how these perform. How much they run you? Quote
SAVAGE420 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 Huh, too heavy??? Wierd. Rides Rad when adjusted right as anything else. Quote
