Bansh-eman Posted October 1, 2007 Report Posted October 1, 2007 the shocks and swinger / arms are going to be your biggest expense. but like i tell everyone, it doesnt mater how badass of a motor you got. if you cant keep that power to the ground your wasting your time. start with your suspension then work your motor after... that is unless you can afford to get it all at once Quote

Washburn Posted October 3, 2007 Report Posted October 3, 2007 You can get aftermarket shocks put them on your stock a arms then buy +2+1s later on and they will work but the internal valving you chose will be off and that is a major deal on how the suspension works. You might be able to get away with replacing your main springs for 50 bucks or so once you upgrade your a arms but the valving will still be off enough to notice. Ideal situation is to buy everything at once and get the shock company you choose to setup your shocks for weight setup and riding style. Your rear shock might also be aftermarket but if the guy before you weighed less or more than you, rode diffrent terrain ect chances are it is too stiff or too soft you might want to think about sending that out as well and getting it revalved espically if your getting an extended swingarm. Works are an old proven shock company and they are cheaper than Elka but you get what you pay for. Quote
