Somehow i mananged to break my 02 300ex rear shock. Its been that way since 03. I finally started riding today(poped a tire:rolleyes: ) sice then. I need a good replacement. I do a lot of pretty fast trail riding. I want a good one that is somewhat inexpensive. Also should i replace the front ones to to get better handling? thanks

well the bad part is there is no cheap way to upgrade your shocks...unless u luck out and get one off ebay your looking at about 400$ for a rear shock...and thats a semi-good one....i think the raptor rears fit the 300ex....not sure ...but if u are goin to upgrade your front u can try ebay...and try to get some 400ex shocks and a-arms...they will bolt right up no problem...just need to get a shock mount relocater....can get one cheap on ebay...will make u a +2 up front and the 400ex shocks are better than the stock 300ex big difference in smoothnessthat what i did...and it worked out great...that just some cheap ways around it....sorry for the long post

Your best bet would be to get a 2001 raptor rear shock. It is much better than stock. More adjustability. There is actually a guy on here selling one right now for $120 shipped I think. Try and do a search I'm sure it will come up.
