chads300 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 so i this has been bothering me since i got the quad but when compared to my friends banshee mine for some reason sets really low in the ass end and i cannot figure out why..... does the r6 shock look different than the stock banshee?

4strokekiller12 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 so I could use r6 shock in drag racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjdgriff Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 yea you could.. its a cheap alternative... not sure how it goes with longer swingarms thoughi know a guy who had a r6 shock on +6 swinger, it worked well for him drag racing, but way to stiff for anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnsadler Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I used the r6 shock on the old banshee we raced and I use two r1's on the front of my flat track blaster. Once u get it dialed in on settings its great. I've had no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4strokekiller12 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 how much do they run blew a rear shock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 i know a guy who had a r6 shock on +6 swinger, it worked well for him drag racing, but way to stiff for anything else If your talking about the bike that I bought, it's actually a +4 swingarm. I'll sell the shock for $30 plus actual shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 OP, get us a pic of the shock or better yet, take it off and measure the eye to eye length. Are there any bushings in the bolt holes? The R6 shocks aren't to bad for flat track if you swap the coil. But as is, they are pretty sweet for drag racing. The shorter length keeps the bike from sitting super ass up on longer swing arms. The longer swingers help put more leverage on the shock so that it acts softer in a sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
