so i trying to decide what to run. right now i have a walsh savior with a prs dual rate axis shock and im not to impressed with it. i keep blowing my seals out.

I am think about running a stock 08 swingarm with a teixeria tech link or a DC-6 linkage?

also considering running the walsh ez link with a pep zps or a pb1?

the stock swingarm would save aot of weight but will it hold up?

thanks jesse

I love my JB Superlink with a PEP ZPS, not sure if i would really consider running anything else.

The walsh ez link is real nice though, very similar to the superlink.

stock with one of the linkages you mentioned might also be a good way to go, and quite a bit cheaper. but you won't get the extended length if that concerns you or not.

a friend of mine is selling a superlink rear end with an axis shock though, not sure if you'd be interested, if you are PM me and ill put you in touch with him.

i would stick with the walsh or jb over stock. the added length of the aftermarket swingarm will give you more traction, it will also flex in corners were the stock swingarm will not.

why do you want your swingarm to flex?

keep the walsh savior and get a pep shock for it,

you want a swing arm to flex in order to take the shock out of square edged bumps, also turning has somthing to do with it if I remember correctly

if it is flexing you have more traction in corners because it helps keep both wheels on the ground

I have the all new Motowoz shocks with ZPS. Rear shocks is TRIPLE rate now. I can tell you one thing, I've ridden lots of diffrent set-ups but this one is simply unbeatable. It's so smooth and predictable. It doesn't bottom-out easy, but it's pretty soft, doesn't beat your back. Absolutely no kick-back. I run it with Teixeira Tech's linkage. Shock is 18" long. Yesterday I cased 70ft double and I just kept riding without any problems. I wouldn't trade it for anything else. PERIOD.

I run the dc-6 on a stock geometry durablue swinger I broke 2 stockers.

I use a works pro-g series shock.

Iam running stock swinger with Dc-6, with FOX Gen 2 , i recommend getting the single rate spring over the duel rate.Only because of tuning issues. with the single rate u set the riders hight and ur done with the duel rate iam on my 3 combination of springs and still haven't got the right setup.

Would you mind posting pictures of these shocks mounted? The rear sounds interesting.

Thanks,

It's 18 inch shock. The top spring is ZPS.

I love this suspension. It works great, I can't complain.

RadekPL,

That's a sweet quad! I really like the crossover adjustments on the Motowoz! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks a lot, it took me around 140 hours to build it...
By the way, crossover on the rear shock wasn't set properly when I took the photo. I turned it way down later.
