    2003 TRX250 ex......for MX

    My 13 yr old daughter is wanting to race in the 200-300 classs at the local races. I put 5" total spacing on rear and 3" on front. That helped alot on the stability. Also put slip on exhaust and K&N filter, air box lid off with XR200 carb. RUNS A LOT BETTER.... But the suspension SUCKS. Without spending over $200.00 on Ebay what are the BEST shocks i could put on it to make it more plush on the jumps and whoops?????

    Looking for ones that will bolt right on without any mods.

    Thanks guys

    For the back I would look into an '01 raptor rear shock.

    Is it better than the Banshee. I looked on ebay but no 01's on ther right now. But i have time to keep looking. Are both shocks "banshee and rapter" both adjustable????

    I'm not really sure about the banshee shock, but I know the raptor one is adjustable. Also, try looking in the forsale section on this site, you would be suprised at how much stuff is forsale.

    (BTW, I think you would have to drill your stock shock mounts from 10 mm holes to 12 mm holes for the raptor rear shock and add a couple of washers)
