i was talking to a pro in training who has ridden nearly every shock looking for his best fit and he said that they felt like riding on silk, very light and adjustable. i have not herd one bad thing about this shock so if yuo have the money go for it. it is deff comperable to any of the other big name shocks.

Well we went ahead and ordered two sets today to try on a yfz and a 450r, so i'll be sure to get a full ride report and picture thread in a week or two when i get them.

If anyone else has any other info, please fill me in... We're quite thrilled to try them out.. ~Jay

I have not ridden on them personally but I can tell you that the same two guys who win amateur and expert at every one of our local races run these shocks.

Sweet!! Yea i can't wait to try them.. They will just be used on my off weekends for practice on my mx track. Right now i'm running Custom Axis Triple Rate comp./reb adj for mx practice and then i have another set specially for TT racing which are also Custom Axis Triple Rate comp adj.

I've run Elka, PEP, Works, TCS, and Custom Axis so i'm anxious to see what these Fox will be like.

I've run the standard floats on this little project right here and let me tell you I've never been this impressed by a set of shocks. They soak up everything! The first time we ran this thing down a hill it had no brakes on it, so when it railed a 6" curb on the otherside of the road, I was cringing, but it soaked it up like it wasn't even there. I was amazed!!!

Purpose built single seat offroad vehicle to be entered in a design competition where it has to go through various tests including an endurance race. SAE's Mini Baja competition. Funding ran short right at the end and for the second year in a row we couldn't go:( . Third times a charm hopefully. Also the 10hp briggs is standard for all vehicles in the competition to focus more on chassis design.

Your quad is sick looking. That is exactly almost how I want to do mine. I have the same hood and everything. Do you race at all? How is that hood holding up for you? Mine is toast after only the first race, I def will be staying away from pricey carbon hoods from now on.:mad:
