FireHead Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Ask badassbanshee479.He runs an R6 shock on his bike....probably similar length I imagine... Dave, forgive me for being uninformed, but why do people want to run the R6 and R1 shocks? I gather the spring rate must be higher than an OEM Banshee shock, but the valving has to be way off from anything reasonable for offraod use? :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 It's a shorter shock, but stiffer I believe... I can tell you his bike rides nice on the drag strip, a little too soft for me. He doesn't really dune it much, it's 90% strip... Mostly for the lowering factor Mark...you know I use Marvins...._ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hope you could teach me something. :geek: It appears that my next question about struts was already asked. I suppose I should just go back to wondering about the more important questions in life. :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, you need to go back to explaining how GP makes shit, and the difference between dyno controls....LOL.... :yelrotflmao: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply observed that the lockup clutch was unnecessarily overly complicated, the GP throttle body in the thread was crude, the Motec FIS system was ancient, the dyno techniques displayed in the video were garbage, and the dyno absorber wasn't what it was claimed to be. Then, I get Nate McCoy coming after me for no apparent reason. What I want to know is, why this Bluetraxx / PS bs is coming over here. Pretty soon we ar going to have threads that involve people getting all pissed off at each other because someone said that some bike they saw once in a magazine is faster than a bike someone else saw in a magazine. :: :shoothead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naybe if you went and bought a Blaster, then you could keep up. :woot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
