well suspension should always come first. get yourself a good set of shocks and you'll be thankful in the long run. first be able to let your suspension handle the stock motor then mod it because your stock shocks aren't letting you push your motor to its limits yet.

Berry hit the nail on the head. All the motor in the world ain't gonna be worth a chit if you can't handle it. You will be amazed what some extended arms and some aftermarket shocks will do for you. It will feel like your motor has been modded!:devil:

Elkas are great shocks, but you have many different options. You can buy works triple rate no rezzies and get them revalved by santo de risi. TCS are pretty good shocks, a little cheaper than the elkas. Do a some research to figure out what shocks are best for your riding style. Good Luck!!
