slobanshee Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Been running shaws all the front of my drag bike. It's raced only on the dunes. Where the sand is less than smooth. The shaws are ruff as hell.. Any reasonable alternatives out there? No jumping or anything. Just looking for something much more comfortable.

springer Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 fox floats prolly be the cheapest decent alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanYE west Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 also, try getting them revlaved or change to a lighter oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works if you want a quick budget replacement for your Shaws and less pogo stick feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 13 inch works, maybe a nice set of 300ex shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Fox Floats will please you. I was very impressed with the ride of them at LS last year. Plus, they're light weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayhawkatv Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I run 13.5 works at the dunes. Not worth wadding up your bike at Ls. Its rough as shit there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your bike is bouncing a foot off the ground, it's time for real suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 also, try getting them revlaved or change to a lighter oil. x2 or floats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Cal Suspension Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Definitely floats. Also, for the rear, we're going to be tuning a custom built stock rear shock on Mike's 535 hillshooter next week in Utah. It's 12" eye to eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 I did a custom setup as well with the stock shock. Works very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
