Axis or PEP

[Shocka400ex]

I am going to break down and unload some cash. I race MX and am going with LSR long travel. I have had PEP's before and loved them and had Axis on my last bike and had problems. I guess when I bought them there were some main people who left and my Axis shocks that were supposed to be set up for MY Riding style had way too stiff of springs and had to be sent back...
Does anyone have any advise or know if Axis has their Chit together? Also what is the turn around cause My PEP's took about 6 months??? Thanks

custom axis and pep are the best shocks out there and i dont think you will be dissapointed with eather. but if you know for sure you liked the pep"s go with them.

Here's what the LSR/PEP set up looks like from the front.....

[TWISTED]

The Outlaw swinger an linkage. Shock wasn't there yet, but it's PEP also...

[TWISTED]

I'm not saying this is the best for everybody, but I absolutely love it!!!

One more.... My shocks came from Baldwin. When I ordered them, he told me 4 weeks. It was more like 6....

[Shocka400ex]

WOW!!! You have the bike I am Building LOL! I love that front end with those piggy back rezzies that is bad ***! Thanks I think I made my decision.

I know that Axis is an awesome shock too. I just see more of the local pros here like Jack Bednar, Ricky Nickel, etc... usually running PEP's.

Does anyone know about how long out the orders are for PEP?

Also, What is the advantage of buying a new swinger??? Can't I just get the Linkage?? Just wondering Thanks

[TWISTED]

They make the same link for the stock swinger. The one I have is 3/4" longer than stock. The only reason I got it was I got a really good deal on it..... I also wanted to add that everything went together perfect.... The fit was awesome with everything. You won't be dissapointed..

i'm having PEP's for TT built right now and the build time is 6-8 weeks.

Hope you dont mind but how much did that front end run you?

[TWISTED]

$800 for arms. $1100 for shocks..

Go to the LSR website and look under parts for the 450r. I believe it's almost st the bottom of the page....

No they dont. They make the DC-6 Linkage that is for the stock swinger.
