PEP with LSR link is the best with a stock swing arm

I highly recommend the Teixeira linkage with 06+ stock swinger arm. Fox has been working with this linkage for the longest out of the shock companies, and can get it working really well for you. I ran an Axis rear with this linkage, and it was the best I've ever ridden.

I guess you can already tell from the responses, that everyone has different opinions about suspension. As long as you have someone valve and spring the shock, that knows what they are doing, any combo can be made to work fairly well.

Its got a lonestar +1.25" and my local dealer gets both shocks super cheap so its between the 2. I have the float fronts but am switching to a coil shock so I'm tryin to decide. I would prefer pb1's all the way around but 2000 a pop for shocks is outa the question
