just wondering if any one on here is running + sized a-arms w/ the stock shocks & if so, how does the quad handle.

i have burgard +2 with stock shocks.I had to add compression.it sits normal but i still need to put stuff back on to ride it. once i get it back together i will tell you how it is.

I have PRP +2 +1s with stock shocks. I set the compression all the way hard and the rebound all the way fast. I didnt mess with the preload any. The bike handles very well actually and the stockers soak up a lot of the jumps. I ordered Elkas still but the stockers have worked good for me while I'm waiting.

I will have to say that now that they have quite a few races on them and lots of ride time, once they get hot (the fluid)....they do start to bottom out on big jumps. They also let the front end kinda dive in when ya come into corners.

So to sum it up, they work fine for the time being till ya save up the $$$ to get some PEPs, Elkas, Axis, or whatever ya get!

redracer44, how much do you weight & how big are the jumps you are not bottoming out on.i haven't decided on +1 or +2. still not sure if i'll make it a mx quad only.

I weigh 185lbs as of right now. Mostly its bigger doubles and table tops where ya get some decent air where I'm bottoming out. If ya land downside PERFECT, no prob but on a quad.....ya dont land downside every time perfect so. They work good enough for now. Its not really a big deal....
