new suspension on front end.

[Martin Blair]

alright i scrapped the idea of getting an R for those of you who read my post in open forum and decided to get some new suspension componets. Alright heres the situation i have just a little over 1200 bucks and i was looking on housers site about there long travel from a arms the plus 1inch versions or the plus 3 inchers, what braklines would i need? or would i need any for the plus 1s? And for front shocks does works sell steelers that are 19inches?

I was thinkig just get the Long Travel +1s and some elka dualrates with rezzys for about 1250 if i dont have to get brake lines.

Or should i just go with regular a arms? some plus 2s and elka shocks, if i get regular arms i will also get a wider rear axle. but what about rear shocks? I heard the stock honda rear was pretty good should i get it revalved and from who?

Thanks

[Pappy]

go +2's and some good shocks. a LT set up with elka's or pep is gonna be over your posted budget. i dont think works makes a steeler in 19in but i could be wrong.

a arms $500 elkas $750 = 1250$ close enough?

[Martin Blair]

no i was going to get the elkas from www.motojoe.com they have dual rate elkas with rezzys for 525! and the +1 in lt a arms are 725 that is exactly 1250 also.

what aobut rear suspension? or axles?

[Pappy]

lsr axle...and get the stock rear conversion done....rico said his worked just fine. suspension is one area where it pays to spend the mullah:)

Dont make that mistake. Buy from C&D racing, our sponsors.

back it up bubs....noone knows what your posting....again:rolleyes:

[Sparks425Ex]

I think he was referring to HN400Ex saying he was going to buy from "MOTOJOE"


If I am wrong Bubs. Correct me....

[Pappy]

the prices i posted are based on c&d's pricing using houser +2 and elka tripple rate with rezzies.

if nh wants LT ...its gonna be pointless using dual rate non rezzy shocks on that set up.

i dont mind someones 2 cents.....its the know it alls that leave a penny that get me:p

dont get a long travel front if ur gunna just get a rear rebuild and stock link. i think to get the best out of a LT front u need a full rear shock with a CR 500 link or another rear end then stock.

If i were u i would get:

Houser a arms - 525
Pep Limited mass - 795

its a little over the price limit but dont go cheap with suspension

[Martin Blair]

how much does the revaling on the rear cost? evetually i will get a new rear end but im working on the front now ive only got 1250 but buy the time i get arround to buy this i may have 1350 or so.

Anyway the shocks are cheaper at motojoe for dualrate elka WITH rezzys. I still dont know about the long travel setup it wold be 200 cheaper to go with plus 2s on the front then i could get a axle whats a good 250-300 dollar axle or should i save up for something more?

[Pappy]

why not just save a lil more... get the absolute best you can afford and then you only have to do it once. if its LT that ya want then there ya go:p

[Martin Blair]

ok i guess i can wait and see i should get atleast 200 from all my relatives in my family, we have a big family, and buy the time my birthday gets here i should have 1450 or so plus b-day money turns to 1650 maybe a bit more if my parents can help.

So at 1650 heres what i have

If i go LT i get plus 1 lt arms, elkas from moto joe that 1250 say revalving for 200 and a elminator axle for 250 that a little over the limit but close.

If i just go with plus 2 arms and elkas that 1050 a elminator axle for 250 that 1300 and then a revalve for 200 that 1500 i could go with a better axle and adjustbal rear link and be at 1650.

If i want to race gncc can you only have plus ones?

Since i have 1250 i can do it in stages getting the shocks and arms first the revalve and axle later. Im thinking of going with the plus 2s because i dont need lt for anything really if i think about it.

[Martin Blair]

Or i could keep stock chassis parts and get elka front and rear shocks, maybe some a arms later, but i think im just going with a revalve and option 2 in my above post, wheres a good place to get a revalve and spring on the stock rear? thanks.

Also do i need braklines for the plus 2 a arms, and what are some good lines? thanks

[Derek]

Get better elkas then the dualrates if your going long travel. It would kind of defeat the purpose of long travel set up if you go short on the shocks.

[Martin Blair]

im not going lt im just going to get regular plus 2 a arms since i dont relly need long travel for anything

[Derek]

Yea, that way you have enough for either better shocks or an axle.

[Martin Blair]

yeah since i dont do to much pouding i will get a better axle the dualrates should do fine wheh i really get into alot of racing as i get older i will have a job and more cash flow for better parts. For a 14 year old kid i think the setp up im going to have is pretty damn good.
