atcandbanshees Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I'm building a new dunable drag banshee and I was wondering if anyone has used the fox floats on the front for drag racing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Fouledout421 runs Floats on his Ziggy chassis drag bike. I've ridden it and bikes with Shaws.. I prefer the Floats hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m671054 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Anyone know if you can run them in a single arm style suspension. is the lower shaft smooth and same od as a shaw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Seen a single arm rappy with the floats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastkid Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Maybe fouled can chime in on the weight difference between these and shaws? Are the floats still lighter then shaved shaws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going to be very comparable. My 18" Fox Evols only weigh 4.5 pounds. Take off the rezzies and subtract a couple inches and they should be around 3 pounds.

sheerider11 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 My regular floats are stupid light. I thought the box was empty when I first got them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fappy'97 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 I've heard the regular floats are 1/2 the weight of Shaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 I've heard the regular floats are 1/2 the weight of Shaws. And ride about 57 times better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 And ride about 57 times better.I love my floats. They never leave the ground. I want to get another set of fox shocks. I'll run them in anything. I can't see why a drag guy wouldn't run them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastkid Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 With all the models they have out now, has anyone tried running one on the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10milmike Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 I run them on my asphalt set up. When I had the bike set up for the hill I also ran them. Like everyone said. The are better then shaws. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy note 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 much better than shaws IF your suspension can MOVE> fronts work great on dual a-arm setups. single arm setups shouldn't move more than about an inch to 1-1/2" of total travel!!!!!! the bump steer is horrible and will cause a wreck.. adn no you cannot just bolt one into an existing single arm setup.. rears are easy to do. you would just need them setup correctly. and also on a rear setup if you want it comfy its going to have to handle some travel. with a loooong arm this usually ends up with to much chain deflection and it will cause the chain to get tossed or become so tight on accel it will snap.. this is the main reason the LSR sand shark chassis looks the way it does. it moves the swingarm piviot point right inline with the front sproket. and that causes no tightening or loosening of the chain through the suspension's travel. that is bad ass..

fappy'97 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 There's a guy around here that runs two fox float shocks on the back of his snomo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
