wacko2000 Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 well just to give you guys and up-date on my rear shock that was rebuilt by works.. Its great, night and day difference over stock.. I would def do it again if I had to before spending $800 on a new shock.... The ride on my shee really is great know... Im sure that there are many guys out there that can rebuild it, I would highly recommend before shelling out mucho money on a aftermarket shock.. Quote
banshee_boy09 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Posted December 20, 2007 Could I just get like a spring kit for my banshee's rear shock? or does it have to be revalved etc?? I want it to be stiffer thanks . Quote
89bansheemx Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 stock rear shock on banshee is great, i had zr1 suspension in tucson az, revalve mine and the difference was night and day, he also added a gold valve... Quote
Chevyman89 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 I would get the rear shock rebuilt by tcs thats what i did and i love it quite a difference Quote
EastCoast Banshee Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Honestly you should talk to all of them and whoever gives you the best price isn't always the best. Go for the guy that seems like he knows his shit the best. As for Shane iv herd many good things about him across many forums so that would be my first call. Quote
racer Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 I think it's worth revalving, if you'll do it yourself. Not rebuilding your own shocks is about the least economical idea ever. All the good tools will cost you less than a trip to TCS or precision concepts, and if you get fat you can compensate. Then when you pick up a sweet speed habit and drop 60 pounds you can compensate for that too. All joking aside, it's economically advantageous to rework one your self. I can walk you through, it's easy. Quote
Shawn G Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 I had Precision Concepts revalve my rear shock and install a heavier Eibach spring. Works way better! Has anyone tried ditching the linkage in favor of a direct mount? A lot more travel can be had with this setup, and the right spring and valving combo can make for a plush ride in even the deepest whoops. A friend of mine had done this, but he is a lot lighter than I am and when I rode his bike, it was too sloppy for me. It worked very well for him though. I'm seriously considering trying this with some different spring weights, and was hoping those who had done this would reply with they're results. Quote
racer Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 Haven't heard of it on a stock frame. but aftermarket frames it seems like the thing to do. Quote
