Good start, exhaust, skid plates, wheels/tires, handguards, steering stabilizer. Then of course shocks will make a big difference.

Ars-FX is what I see most all of the top pros running so it must be a great set up. It is very pricey.......try 5K for the entire front and rear set up.:ermm:

Hey man the best setup for you is gonna be the new Houser slicast a-arms(really worth checkin out ) and elka shocks.

your gonna see a host of pro riders with that setup in 06.:devil:


START WITH SUSPENSION(A-ARMS AND SHOCKS) THIS IS WHAT MAKES THE MOST IMPROVEMENT ON A ATV.:muscle:

You can have all the motor in the world but it wont be worth $h!T if you get beaten up in the first lap.

Sounds like you are ready for arms and suspension. I agree with the Houser and Elka setup!

Yeah I have seen a picture of these A-arm but I can't remember where!!!
and for the shock...Elka is my first choice, we need to encourage some local factories... (i'm from montreal):p

Some people like Elka, some like Axis, some PEP. For me I lean towads Axis pretty heavy. I have had Both Axis and Elka and the Axis works better for me. Either way though you will be a lot better off than you are now.

I also agree with a previous statement, Suspension is by far the best mod a racer can make, pipe and all that jazz dont mean a thing if you cant use the power.

Derisi a-arms and Axis shocks are what I am getting.
