SoCalinIt Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 What's up guys? I'm looking to get a pair of Fox Float shocks for my Banshee... The only place I could find them was straight from the dealer for $695. Do any of you guys happen to know where I can find a set for less then this? I really like how they look, and everyone that has them seems to really like them. They only weigh 2.1 lbs for a 19.5" shock! That's really light! I know a few of you are going to try to covert me to Elka, but it's not going to happen. LOL Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock-46 Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 I am planning on picking up a set as well. Although I am probably going to wait until October. I wont be out riding again until then. From what I heard there is a 90 day warranty from the time of purchase. So if I get them now the warranty would be up before I even get to try them out. Talk to Diesel over @ PDR. sales@performancedesignracing.com He is local, and has great customer service. Has helped me out a few times and usually has good prices.

Unfortunately, $695 is a deal and dealing directly with Fox is as cheap you will get. Fox's pricing policy and distributorship is a very tightly run thing. I can probably come up with a contact name at Fox for you, but I think the last person I knew in the ATV division was promoted and moved to another division (also a pretty tightly run deal. you need to make sure you call the right division for what you are buying. they cannot transfer you as they are in different locations.).

Anyways that deal for 600 is the best iv ever seen aside from 550 on ebay once. I tried getting some Dune shocks from Elka... After almost 4 weeks I called and canceled the order. I was sick of getting dicked around by them. The Fox shocks are bad man! I like that I can dune them and use them for drag racing. Super light too! It was awhile ago in one of my catalogs... I thought it might be motosport outlet but I went to their site and couldnt find anything. so I dunno.. maybe I just had a brain fart or somthing.

I'm still thinking about going that way! I'm just trying to save a little dough. Thanks for the info though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washburn Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Thats weird only took them 3 days to make my custom shocks and get them too me in NC. Sometimes they get slammed like everyone else. Elka is a super nice company to deal with too. Ide wait a month for some Elkas but thats just me Whatever. The Fox Floats are pretty good. I dont know what they are like to deal with though.

I was told that it should take no more then a week, and at the 3 and a half week mark, they told me another week. I don't need them that bad.

r/atvshee Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Actually on memorial weekend, i got ot ride my buddies YFZ with marvins up front. I didnt know if they were hillshooters or comps but it was a very smooth ride up front. I couldnt feel any ruts and there wasnt any bumpsteer in it either. So i think by riding that has made up on my mind with marvins. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
