I was reading one of the other forums about an Axis rear linkage. Anybody know anything about it? How much and how does it perform?

AXIS shock with aftermarket linkage from AXIS,GT Thunder,Elka etc. The bike I'm riding in the 12hour has a JB swing arm with AXIS linkage and shock.

I think the axis linkage you are refering to is a gt thunder link.
he gives axis the specs for their rear shock.
I have one on my 450r and it works much better than stock.

AXIS is working on the linkage, but it's not available yet.

That is correct. From what im hearing, the ARS rear end should be done soon.

Ars/FX is not owned by a company in Utah. Zbros is a dealer selling Mike Hallock's product.

No PEP does not have a website and it would not be on there anyways. And yes as in Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) bought PEPs linkage design and will sell it as the HRC 450R rear linkage. PEP dual rate rear with the PEP/ HRC linkage.. boo ya Grandma.

Zollingers are from Logan, they are sled heads big time. I have heard nothing about it though.
I heard the same thing about the PEP shock from multiple people, and they are all people I trust.
I am going with a PEP though.

NO YOU ARE WRONG!!!! I spoke with Mike Hallock who still owns 51% of ARS/FX.

Zbros have made and investment into ARS/FX and will be responsible for the sales end. Since Mike is so busy with Custom Axis.
