Call Laz at GT Thunder. He has the linkage and can revalve your stock shock for less than $250.

Either go with the GT Thunder setup or have one of the shops thats doing the dual rate/ZPS conversion on the rear shock, have them do the conversion the rear shock. Derisi is doing the dual rate/ZPS setup with the linkage and I hear good things.

I personally have the GT Thunder MX linkage/shock revalve and it works great!

my derisi zps rear end with linkage is the best 535$ i have spent on my quad I absolutley love it. It makes the quad sit lower and adds more travel I'm very happy with it for the money spent on any of the revalve options available you can't go wrong with them

I see on JH racing's website that they are advertising the zps conversions also. Does anyone know if they are doing it themselves, or are they sending the shocks to someone else?

JH Racing has an "in-house" shock service station where he does shock work of all kinds (rebuilds, conversions, revalves, etc). He did the revalve on my rear shock to Laz's specs so I didnt have to send my shock off. He did a great job. He also did my shock work when I had my 250R and he did good work. He's our local quad shop here in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area

As far as the ZPS conversion on the stock shocks, he's done several sets and is hearing goodthings. A friend of mine who races with me has the ZPS conversion on his TRX that was done by JH Racing and he loves the set-up.
