They're great for a kid who had stockers, and has no job!:D

Just be happy for the kid dude, just because we cant all afford 8-click big bottles doesnt mean you gotta rag on us.

Hell, im still running 450r takeoffs and a worn out rear shock.:ermm:

[trx400EXtreme]

416exfreak- we diddn't order anythig special, thats how they came.

Jersey450r- sorry i'm not rich... i'm not tryin' to sound like a d**k, but i worked my butt off to afford these. i dont race, i don't need 1500 dollar shocks. cut me some slack, i'm only 15... not old enough to get a job, and i bought my own shocks, i'm proud of that.

Don't worry about what he says. Be proud that you worked hard for them, but most of all, ENJOY THEM!!!!!!!

[BlaineKaiser450]

[wvspeedfreak]

I am not making fun of them at all becuase I love pep shocks and I just bought a new set of standard travel ones myself. If you dont mind me asking what model shocks are those like are they the $1200 ones or the $650 ones? Only reason I asked is becuase I dont see a compression knob on them like mine have.

[trx400EXtreme]

they're the race series..... 650 bucks. little questin, the little knob on the bottem, what knob is that???

on the bottom of the rezzie? thats to fill it up with nitrogen, dont mess with that haha!

Btw the way nice shocks dude, with PEP's there set up so well from the factory you'll have all the adjustments you'll ever need!!!

You should be proud that you payed for them, nothing like that feeling!

[trx400EXtreme]

another thing... when ever you lift the front up, you hear them "clunk" because the shocks reach there limit. is this bad?

[sly400ex]

That is normal, I asked the same question nearly 6 years ago when I bought my aftermarket shocks......completely normal though.

[trx400EXtreme]

hhmmm. well thats a relief lol. these thing feel SUPER soft, they are gonna ride great.:D might be able the ride this weekend and i'll let every body know how they work.:macho

[TWISTED]

Sweet!!!! Nice bumper. My all time favorite. One thing though, get some shock covers for the front. Saves wear and tear, and keeps em looking good!!!!!

[Honda#4]

Boy that was quick LOL, they sure look great 10x better than stock.

Did you get any ride time yet?

I agree with Twisted don't worry about him.

And to Jersey450r chill out!!

[trx400EXtreme]

thanks everbody!!! and no, i haven't riddin' on em yet.:( the wind chill is like -5 or so. i think i'm goin ridin' this weekend though. supposed to be 50 on sunday. we'll see.:D o and about the extras, lets just say there like 50 bucks worth of PEP and Sfracing stickers sitting in the barn right now lol. i gotta charge my battery tomorrow and i'll get it out and take some better pics.

[416exfreak]

Only stickers?

Damn... I would have thought he would have sent something with more use than stickers.

[limetimeracerII]

Congrats on the new shocks. New parts kick ***. I wouldn't worry about the adjustments either. Sometimes I think people put more value into what the shocks can do instead of what you can do with the shocks.:macho

[Honda#4]

^^ Well said, it's no fun riddin or working in below temps but somehow I got through it when I put my axle on workin in -15 temps.

[Jersey450R]

man, my bad dude. i feel horrible now. i was havin a bad day yesterday, dosent everyone have one of those?! for real though, nice shocks. best of luck with them. once again, i'm sorry for posting rudely.

You can race as much as you want with those shocks. If you want to do yourself a real favor when you've got the $, send the stock rear to whoever and have the PEP rebuild done to it. Then you're even all the way around. The reason you don't see the real fast guys with those type of stocks is because you get a lot of "bounce" when you are really moving. The ZPS's (Elka or PEP) don't bounce you around. They have kind-of a "dead" feel when you land and you are ON the ground good instead of them rebounding too hard and losing a little contact. There are a lot more examples but basically the ZPS shocks keep you closer to the ground and keep the tire all on the ground better.

[BlasterEaten250]

those look really nice.:cool: I might be doing that soon too.

[nick249420]

those are nice .. i wish mine had remote rezzies
but they are good enough fully adj..i also race though

[Kickstarts-suck]

look good!

They should have included shock covers with the "extras"

[trx400EXtreme]

yea that woulda been cool. o well, shock covers rub of the paint anyway.:devil:

[jrspawn]

Not if you get the right ones;)

Are you planning on getting a arms or an axle anytime in the near future? Either way if you are just a trail rider pretty much like me then you will love them becuase in my opinion pep are the best shocks out there. If I wasn't doing all that I did to my quad I would of just kept stock a arms and got those shocks insted of the zps 8 click compression ones. Dont know if your still confused or not about if they are compression adjustable but you can see the red compression knob on mine.

[trx400EXtreme]

eventually i plan on doing a arms and an axle, but prob. not any time soon.... i'm broke as a joke lol. before widening it i'm bumping up to a 416.

Id do it in reverse order.

You'll be amazed at how much faster the wider a-arms and axle will let you go.

[Honda#4]

I'd have to agree with 416freak, you can have all the HP you want but it's useless if you don't have the suspension to handle it.

[Johnny Minehan]

nice shocks, and that bumper looks sick on there! i might have to get one for my R:p

[trx400EXtreme]

thanks guys. i have a little ride report..... i diddn't ride much because it was, well to say the least like a pond due to all the melting snow and what not. but i did some road riding with my cousin at his house. there wasn't many "extreme" conditions but i did manage to find a few deep pot holes to hit:devil:. soaked it up like there never was a pot hole.... until it hit the back lol.

[Nick110]

Good to hear you finally got them, Wayne can be a little iffy at times.


PS- My rezzies are bigger...na na na na na na:blah:

PS- My rezzies are bigger...na na na na na na:blah: it's not the size of the rezzie........ it's the smoothness of the shock lol.:devil: but since ya got me there too, it don't sound like i'm getting any action any time soon lol.:D :blah: :p

[trx400EXtreme]

need some more help... how do you adjust the crossover gap?

[trx400EXtreme]

heres a better pic of them after i got the quad all cleaned up.

[trx400EXtreme]

another. i think i'm gonna get my a arms painted black to clean up the front end a little bit.

[trx400EXtreme]

i have a little ride report. diddn't ride much, but i think it was enough to get the feel of how they work.


All i can say is WOW. my quad corners like its on rails now. i have one croner that i used to hit in the top of second gear that i can now hit in third easily. any turn that i went through that used to make me feel like i was gonna flip, doesn't bother me any more at all. i have also done a littlr road riding and it's a blast chargin' into corners with these.


overall i am VERY satisfied and would definately recomend them for anyone who wants a great set of shocks for a great price.
