First off, you have a sharp looking ride. I've wanted to make my rims black, and you gave me another reason to do it. I'd like to hear how they hold up.

About the only thing you can do with the front shocks to make them stiffer is jack up the preload. This will however make the front end higher. Other options would include finding new stiffer springs or getting them revalved. One final option would be to get compression adjustable shocks from a Predator or 450MXR. They will bolt right up. I have fronts from an 09 450MXR and they are awesome.

very sharp looking, it looks awesome. I was wondering if the rear A- arms and the springs were powder coated or did u paint them ? Also did in the front did u add spacers to widen it ? If so what kind and how are they holding up ?

I'm looking forward to seeing some more pictures and videos of your ride.

I should mention some things about the shocks. Here's a picture of the differences. The top one if from the 450 MXR (compression adjustable and preload). The middle one is from the stock Outlaw 525 (only preload). The bottom one is from a Predator that (compression adjustable and preload). You can clearly see that the Predator shock is about an inch shorter in stroke than the Outlaw shocks. This will make you lose some travel, but it will gain you the adjustability. I also included a picture of them mounted up. They look pretty high in that picture, but when you get a rider on them, they almost squish the top spring all the way.

If you want to see pics of the rear Evol set up look at Eichners win in 2007 in the WORCS series at Round Five I think. He only ran the Evols in the back for 2 races I think until they went to the DSC Podium X because they couldn't get enough travel out of the rear with the Evols.
