Proquad101 Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 I use the afco atv rear flattrack shock. My shock is 12 " fully extended. Go to afcoracing.com and check out there atv shocks, that seems to be the cheapest place I have seen them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demsy Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 do u have to run a shocks made for no-link swingarm,, for can u use the stock one??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proquad101 Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Yes you can use your stock shock. The thing you will need to do if you use the stock shock is to move the upper mount back and up about 1.5" to 1.75". If you dont do that it will not be strong enough. It's not really that hard to do, just weld some angle iron on your old mount and put some gussets on it to make it strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinx44 Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Low is not always better. If it is too low, it will slide too much. I also run the AFCO. I believe my spring rate is around 380, but I am heavy. They are nice because the ride height is quickly adjustable. Demsy, the stock shock is WAY to stiff.
