I took the racks off, 250EX front shocks and Team ECC graphics + Tag grips. I think I picked up about 10 horsepower and 5 inches of travel with these mods :p ;) :huh

do 250ex shocks make a noticebly difference between suspention.

I assume the recon weighs more then the 250ex so hows this working out?

We haven't had it out since we put the 250 shocks on, but it is definetly stiffer than with the recon shocks. It doesn't weigh a whole lot more than a 250ex without the racks on it. Those things weighed a ton! It did raise the front about 1/2 an inch, it looks like a prerunner :p

oh another thing, if you wanna clean it up and make it look better, put washers and rounded head screws/bolts for all the holes from the racks except for the four big ones that are molded round.
