how does everybody that has one like there raptor rear shock

[JDiablo]

idk if this belongs in the suspension forum or whatnot but this is to everyone that has a raptor rear shock on there 300.How do you like it,i've just recently gotten mine and love it so far,really haven't been up to the other house to ride but from what i can tell this is a good mod for someone like myself who was low on money at the time,much better over stock.I like jumping on the quad sometimes because i just can't believe how much better it is over stock...lmfao:p :devil:

[bradley300]

yep, i was the first on the board to show up with this mod thanks to thequadshop, look what we started! i love mine, i'm sure a full elka, axis or pep shock works even better, but for the price, you cant beat it

[JDiablo]

yup,can you tell me what can i expect from it once i take it into the woods>and no doubt i can't wait to get some new front shocks toO!

how many brain cells would it take to decide if this should go in the suspension fourm???

[JDiablo]

a couple but that couple i dont have:cool:

[JDiablo]

ya alright moderators soory,just move this to suspension my fault on this one...no brain cells(its the weekend)

Usually it's after the weekend that the brain cells are dead:blah:

I heard that all the other years of raptor rear shocks are piggy backs and that they won't work because they hit the air box. Can you modify the air box some way to make it work or has that route already been exhausted?

idk,otherwise you will have to find a 2001 model shock because as you all know it it remote rezzie...but otherwise im sure you can mold the plastics somehow to make it work,but if you jump with it i would try and find a 01 shock

On average how much does this cost to do?

[JDiablo]

i got mine at 110 dollars whihc is a whole chit load cheaper then wat i've been seeing,150 to 200 or so,but defienlty worth the money if you can't shell out 500 for a aftermarket one

[bradley300]

yeah, 250ish is about right

[JDiablo]

i got lucky then the guy was asking 90 for it,and i eventually paid 110 but damn i musta been lucky,i just went outside to fine tune it a lil bit..still have to work on it tomorrow but i love it so far,i want this stupid snow to leave already and the nice warm weather start coming in

[wvspeedfreak]

Does the Raptor shock bolt up with no other modifications?I have never heard of this swap.

[jay's 300]

It bolts right up and personally I think it's definately well worth the money. Which in my case was only about $100! If you can get get your hands on one I would definately go with it! :D
