So unless your works shocks are longer, or full flight put the shock mount in the wrong place, im not sure. got any pics? Quote
Ek17333 Posted May 23, 2005 Author Report Posted May 23, 2005 uhm i think i took the other night pics in general not nethin CLOSE up but i will take some mabey 2night/2morrow. Quote
wideopen Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 are u positive u have the right shocks ? check the lenth may be raptor shocks ! had a problem with a stripped bike i bought they look identical to banshee same mounting points ect but the are to long ! they were also a set of works shocks hope it helps Quote
rptorman Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 (edited) May be just me, but those shocks look long to me. Also, I don't know if it's possible, but could someone have added that little set of springs and extended the shocks to long and made them to stiff. That would really mess up the handling. And give that thing a bath! Edited June 22, 2005 by rptorman Quote
Dead Op Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 My friend it seems like your shocks are GINORMOUS! Quote
decon Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 (edited) i hear full flight arms are crap,you shouldnt of bought them. measure the length of your shocks, should be about 14 inches. Edited June 22, 2005 by dEcon Quote
fixitrod Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 Maybe the shocks are to soft for those a-arms and are letting the front end dive to much... if the shocks aren't to tall. If it dives it messes up the alignment. Make sure you have 1/16th to 1/8th inch of tow in .. front of tires closer to together than the back. If you put a level on the rim while you sit on it they should be perpendicular to the floor. Camber is something you probably can't adjust. Make sure those basics above are that way. Quote
sandman121383 Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 hey bud that " air valve " is for nitrogen incase u ever have ur shock rebuilt or recharged. i think what some people are missing is that u had the works shocks on b4 u put them a arms on am i right or wrong? if theose works shock u have were on b4 and fit fine u kno u got either the wrong upper or wrong lower or maybe both upper and lowers are wrong. take some measurements opf where the mounts are and call whoever u boght them off of. if they sent u raptor or 450 a arms they should replace em for yaa let us kno what happens.
