heavy rider suspensension?

[Staylor74]

So im 6'0" 400lbs, I am rebuilding my bike from the frame up, the time has come to figure out what shocks/springs to buy. I ride strictly in the sand dunes as I call Coos Bay Oregon home. Any help or information is greatly appriciated

copy that, I got the project for free just had to go get it so I figured why not build it, but on my raptors over the years I've always had good luck with elkas, but its been 8 years and 150 lbs ago lol when I was just a highschool kid. I figured that would be the route I ended up at, just figured id see if anyone has had a similar situattion

Fox Podium rear and Floats in the front. Never look back.

If you opt to keep your OEM rear shock, you really don't need a revalve.

I have run OEM with different springs on everything from +2 to +14 arms.

What kind of budget are you looking at?

[Staylor74]

im in the thing pretty cheap at this point so money isn't really a issue, ive got some cash to throw at it

I would go Alba +2 LT arms with Fox Float Evol and Fox Podium in the rear. Excellent set up.

Fox Podium RC2 should still be available for '87-200 Banshee. That's what we are getting when start this banshee build. Got to finish installing the new tires and jeep wheels on the Wrangler before we can take her in.
