Why the heck are they so cheap? $30 for fronts and $40 for a rear? It's awesome deal, but too good to be true? How do these things perform? Also, on xr50.com the front springs are pictured with metal endcaps or somethin. What are those?

I'm also buying the Factory Metals +1 chromoly fork legs. Any input on these things?

Thanks everyone!

 

they work great, get a pair. those metal things on top, are the end caps. they'll save you some time, taking off the stock caps are a bitch. IMO

 

You've ridden my 50, and i have the Applied Rear Spring. It works fine, and those are endcaps on the front springs.

I'm gonna get the +1 forks and the front springs too, so when you get em tell me how they work.

 

NO NO NO NO
Applied FRONT springs ARE GAAAAABAGE!
They bend, they suck.
Applied rear however i have never heard anything bad about.

 

Don't mind my stupidity, but what are ya talkin about Buick? Do you mean they get saggy or somethin? I thought springs were supposed to bend, then go back (hence the name).

Clue me in...

 

Screw springs and legs and bushings...For half the price you can set up some mr50 forks that are twice as good.

 

Alright then, got some more info on that?

 

No I mean they bent, like permanent kink in them and they didn't work anymore. GAAABAGE. And springs jobs are to compress and go boing boing.
I have given you the clues, solve the mystery.

 

got front and rear springs....as soon as I install em I'lllet ya know how I like em

 

I got applied front and rear and they work perfect for me, no problems. As long as you aren't doing huge jumps you should be fine. That seems to be when everyone starts braking frames and forks and stuff. Also make sure you get some bushings, I got the ones from 50ccracing.com

 

Really? Because i don't hit jumps like ever, and mine bent. Just fair warning they are ****.

 

For street theyre fine but i highly recommend diff. bushings. I have stock ones and they squeak and **** me off.

 

Did you have stock bushings?

 

these guys are having a sale on sano fork legs, only like 15 more than those ones youre talking about. mine just got here today

fiddyboyz.com has a link on there for mr50 fork installation instructions somewhere i think. It's a zip file.

 

Yea, I'm a cheap bastard. I don't have the cash for the fork legs yet, nor the bushings. I just ordered an Applied rear spring and I went with Red baron front springs. I hope they work good enough until I can buy the bushings and fork legs.

 

nope.

 

Hmm good to know then, I will keep an eye on mine. So far so good! I just got some for the 04, but the 03 had em when I bought it and I had no idea how long the guy before me had them in there. I liked the way the forks felt much better than stock though, so I got some for the 04. Plus they are only like $35 so if I bend em, oh well buy some new ones, lol
