yfzdunejumper Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Does anyone know where I can get frot shocks that would measure 12in. from eye to eye?Thanks There are at least three pair of marvins a month between HQ, PS, eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYUK Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 marvins are the only way to go. and are adjustable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10second Banshee Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I run Fox floaters in front.. To adjust them. Just use a air pump. My weigh just under 2lbs.. Yes pricey.. But no to carry around a nitrogen tank. Plus nitrogen is not cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yfzdunejumper Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I guess I didn't read that about shaws being to expensive.... You can pick up a used set for 150-200 if you look around option two and its not even half as goo is to buy some blaster shocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 A lot of people on a budget use 300ex shocks. They are a good length and work well if you're only dragging. I've been told they bolt right up. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYUK Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 the puertos just cut a length of chain, squat the bike down in front and bolt the chain to the upper and lower shock bolts, viola drag shocks. like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSBansheeDrags Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 why not just use struts?...unless you are racing on a really rough surface...they work well and are very comparatively economical....dbr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Once you run with marvins on the front you'll never want to run strutted up front again...trust me, I know. Rigid frames are technically the best thing for racing a groomed track, but if you're running a stock framed bike I highly recommend strut in the rear, shocks up front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
