Well, I dropped the quad off this week at JH Racing and he converted the shock to a ZPS/Dual Rate setup but he did his own valving to make the shock work with the GT MX Linkage. All I got to say is WOW! This is the way to go if you dont wanna spend the serious $$$ for an aftermarket rear shock/linkage like what Elka has to offer.....
I went out to one of our local tracks this evening for some seat time before the TQRA this weekend and put the shock through the paces. I threw everything I could at the rear end and it worked flawlessly. I even cased a few jumps to see how it'd do....just soaked 'em up. Never bucked or swapped through the rough stuff like braking bumps or the small whooped out rythym (spelling) section at the track. It never showed any signs of packing up or fading, worked flawlessly the whole evening.
I even over-jumped the double/double section and the 75 foot table top, never could get the shock to bottom out, just soaked it all up once again. And of course, it was very very plush when you landed jumps smoothly like you were suppose to :D
Only thing I didnt get to try out was a true section of whoops which I'm going out to my friends house to ride at his track later on in the week....they have a couple sections of whoops. So I'm going to pound it through 'em and see what happens :devil:
As I stated before....this setup works great and is a great way to go versus spending serious $$$ for an aftermarket rear shock......
I'll get some pictures tomorrow...I also bought some white plastic :devil:
