Stay away from these 6 pack racks

[phreak]

i bought this rack because it was alittle cheaper than others and now i know why. after the second ride, carrying a 2.5 gallon can, the rack bent down and also bent my silencers down. it is a piece of crap. i thought maybe it was from too much weight but my buddy carries the same gas can on his 250r. his rack supports the weight just fine. i learned my lesson and ordered a prm rack.

 

just wanted to pass this along so others don't make the same mistake.

I once thought of getting it.. instead grabbed a bigger tank & happy with it.

 

How do you like your YFZ shocks built by GT Thunder? Did you go Dual Rate?

i love my shocks. i grabbed them off of ebay. they have eibach dual rate springs. i adjusted the preload so there wasn't as much sag with the yfz a-arms. they are so smooth. trail riding and jumps are like butter. i had 04 yfz shocks before and they were so friggin stiff.

 

here's a pic of them.

PRM product are great :thumbsup: looking at your ebay page you posted. it appears to be a "no name brand" that usually screams cheap. i had a friend who got a no name brand skid plate for his swing arm and on his first ride it broke off at the welds which was the part that protected the sprocket :shoothead: spend the extra $ on prm and you'll be happy :thumbsup:
