Check out my shocks

[Kadafiy]

What do you guys think, Pappy pc'ed the springs that's why they look so good.:D I bought them off Rico and it was the one of the best transcactions I've ever had over the internet. They are works tripple rates with rezzies just in case you missed that. They look good now Rico but they look much better on the 400. Can't wait to get some @ss time in on these.

[Pappy]

Yeah I agree...I just didn't have time to shine them up while rebuilding the 416 too..I figured I'd get the Springs PC'd for em and he'd have to use his own elbow grease to make the rest of them shine...;)

Those look awesome. I think it would be cool to PC some Elka springs...

Are you rigth?
Yes, but they also do much more. The main advantage to rezzies is that they allow you to seperate the oil and nitrogen in the shock.

If you don't have a reservoir, you usually have an "emulsion" shock where the oil is mixed with nitrogen with no seperation. This creates a foamy oil which is more likely to get hot and fade under use.

When the nitrogen is seperated from the oil (in the rezzy), it allows more tunable, predictable, fade resistant damping, and is just simply a better design.

Hope this helps,

Jesse

Thanx guys I really like how the shocks look with the housers.....PS anyone want to buy those custom axis shocks real cheap....:D j/k

[QuadTrix6]

they look sick let us know how you like em, :cool:

[Dave400ex]

Are those +1 a-arms?

Looks much better with the arms... And I planned on getting them done it hot pink and neon green,,but those definitly wouldn't have went the red arms..:huh

[Kadafiy]

Man rico I never even thought of that color combo, back to pappy they go:D They are +1's and once I get some seat time in I'll let you guys know what I think. The bad thing about the housers were that not all the holes lined up easily, some of the pc'ing was chipped around the end of the a arms by the spacers (that kind of pissed me off), and the bolt that goes thru the lower shock mount wouldn't go thru so the bolt had to be throw in a lathe and take .010 off the back part for it to go thru. Luckly we did this at my dad's machine shop or I would have be throwing stuff.:D also, it would have been cool to get some houser stickers with them. Oh well hopefully everything else is positive.

[RuffRyder400ex]

looking good :)

[Kadafiy]

I told you guys I'd get you a review and I will but my bike is at profab right now getting the 416 treatment so when it gets back I will give you a review of the new front end. It should be about 2 weeks. I'll let you guys know....later
