i like remote better, kinda in a safer position if u take a direct hit to the side of the front wheel, and looks cooler IMO

i personally like the piggy back... u dont' have to worry about all the hoses and stuff... and mounting the rezzy... and if u crack off a piggy back rezzy u are almost dead or ur quads in really bad shape!!!

piggy backs are all one unit. nothing else to mount, and worry about mounting the rezzys and the mounts breakin

I have seen several hoses get broken by branches but I have never seen a piggy back break off.

it really depends on which setup would be the safest on ur quad.
do you want ur cans hidden outa the way and risk a ripped hose?
or do u want to hang ur cans on ur shocks so u dont hafta worry bout rippin a hose and risk wrecking and bashing them ?

its all up to how u feel will be the safest for u

Barry ran Ohlins with piggy's and Bill runs Axis so he doesn't have the choice.:D

All reseivors do rather piggy back or usual remote resivors. They hold extra oil to keep the shock cooler and lasting long. They both do the same thing. Use what you think looks better. The only problem I have ever heard of happening is a hole is the hose line of the remote res. It cost me like $40 to put in a new stainless steel hose. I do like the fact that you can hide a remote resivoir behind the frame. I always wondered if rocks could hit the piggyback, but even if they do I doubt it would harm it. So use whatever looks better to you. I personally have no preference and think both look good I have remotes because that is all TCS make.

I remember seeing a Picture of Hawk and his Quad had PEP ZPS right before he quit. That would be awesome if he came back. Hawk and Ballance would be a good match.

I'm pretty sure barry hawk didn't have ZPS. ZPS, is fairly new.

ZPS were around in 1998 when he quit. He ran them at least once. I read a article about it.
