r6 shock?

[chads300]

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?

[rjdgriff]

Yes it does, and an r6 shock is extremely stiff

[rjdgriff]

Same size rear tires?

[screaminshee]

Junk the R6 shock whether its you or your  buddy. Don't waste your time!

[chads300]

yes sir 20-11-9 on both...... it looks like a stock banshee shock,its not blown it nust sets about a good 1-2 inches lower then his does,quad has no lowering link either. has me sumped

so I could use r6 shock in drag racing

[rjdgriff]

yea you could.. its a cheap alternative... not sure how it goes with longer swingarms though

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

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.

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.

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
