I have to say im quite impressed with these shocks...

[bah1491]

last one...

[vAnS_77]

Nice how much did those shocks run ya? Do they ride nice?

[bah1491]

well.....i got a deal on them....my uncle races in the Lucas oil dirtcar series, and is sponored by ohlins. so he got them for me with a HUGE discount...about 2 grand for fronts and rears. fully aadjustable with springs..

They are awesome

heres what my unlce races....dirt late model...he finised 2nd in the lucas oil series points this year

I would definetly do the front wheels black. The polished throws the whole thing off...JMO

[BlaineKaiser450]

sick quad!

[bah1491]

thats what i was thinking, i have a set in my race trailer that i painted flat black, just like the rear beadlocks....i just love flat black, and its so much easier to maintain, visually....thanks for the compliments!

SEXY! everything is awesome except those polished front wheels. black wheels are the s***!

Quad looks good but I like Barts Late Model alittle better!

[bah1491]

yea...ive been stuck with a cast on my left arm for THREE MONTHS, i go back oct. 30th, and i think im going to have to get surgery...and wear a cast for three more months!

so ive been considering building a modified.....and following the "family tradition"

[manson98]

I understand that. I was going to buy a sport mod this year but theyaren't going to race them around here yet. But really want to race a Mod as I am getting to old!LOL I follow the late Models and mods.

Bartman...Bart hartman an awesome racer.

[bah1491]

bartman, thats my uncle haha


front end seems low most likely because the back sits high without a rider on the bike. one small thing i dont like about the ohlins shock on the rear, but once the rider is on the bike its PERFECT! Ride height on the bike is set properly......well, at least where i like it.

and i went with standard travel a-arms because im 17, and my mowing business can only support so much for a racing career....

[bah1491]

thanks for the compliments.....

is long travel a HUGE difference? would i notice much as far as when im riding?

[mx1791]

i had standard travel on my old 450r and i thought it was fine, the only time i noticed a big difference in ST over LT was when i rode long travel fox shocks

nice bike btw

[bah1491]

ive never thought i really NEEDED LT....so i went the cheaper route, and ive been satisfied.


all i seem to hear is that it is NOT a big difference, althought im sure it has its advantages
