Suspension

what you all do for your suspension? Im pretty clueless on what I should do. I was looking at some rear shocks on ebay but what about the forks? Do I need all new forks or extensions?

help a brother out! :YEAH

Re: Suspension

get +1 forks with HD springs for the front and a non resi I shock for the rear. Thats a pretty good setup for stunting.

I'm gonna be honest, I dont know what +1 forks are. But they sure sound expensive.

Would it be alright to run just HD front springs and an HD rear spring? My HD rear spring is already on the way. I just started doing some jumps on my fiddy and this thing bottoms out so easy even with a 155 pound rider. Guess that's what happens when the suspensions made for an 88lb rider haha.

They are just stonger for legs that are one inch longer. I have them on mine. Youd be fine with just the HD springs. Might have to replace the bushings after awhile though.

It looks a little bit taller. I wouldnt say blown out shock bad though. All I have in the rear is a stiffer spring.

Re: Suspension

are all XR/CRF fiddy shocks compatable from 00-07 or do they change lengths/fittment at a certain year?
