AJ, I could not find much info on that company, looks like they mostly do dirt track stuff, I would like to try the shock, but I am 170 suited, and not sure how good it will be, since they look like they specialize in dirt bikes........

Hey AJ!!! hows it going man! it is good to hear from ya!! I always go with the 11 fibers and 10 2mm steels. that seems to work the best for me. We hope to see you at the track this year!
and I think 136 should work on your setup...

thanx for the info mike... and to you nox for your interest. just trying to offset the cost for items needed for my 12, was told this shock was worth some scratch to the right person... keep your ears open to the drag guys for me if ya can i'd really appreciate. cool bo's! gott'a go to work now. this weather here is deppressing, the wife and i are jones'n to break out the 12 and zrx outta permanant hibernation! hit and miss ridin' so far, but to old to bear the frozen-body syndrome after an hour or so! 5in. snow on monday. melt-down goin' on now though...

Yeah, if it was a Works, Ohlins,Race tech or some company that does drag revalving on a reg basis, I would already have got it, but without knowing the company........., hard to do.........

nox... can you give me a revalve 101 on drag set-up on a stock unit? i'm asking cause i don't know. your 170 lbs. suited, so if i was told the shock was set up for say 200-215 lb. rider, what's the diff. between this weight spread for example? i was told that the mod to the shock was to absorb the squatting of the bike's weight transfer, then rebounding up slowll over and above the stock's ability? i can see if the lbs. differance was 100 # or more, but for drags and it squats deep, rises slow, why's 30-40# really matter? i can see if it's a road-racer application that 5-10# shock set-up would matter... anyone? i really am curious now. i'm just a ham'n-egger so to speak just racing the 1/4 for fun mainly. i think that just because hlebo bros race suspensions race flat-track doesnt mean they cant build agood drag set up from a oem shock do ya? the amount to have this shock built surely is much more than what i'm wanting in trade...i'm a simple man. watcha' think gurus?love this site for the knowledge gained! i'm not 'puter swift as you can tell but i try...i'd even post pics of my 12 and the wife's zrx if iknew how, can e-mail pics to a member to post for me ffrom my kodak file thats about it though. easy on, aaron jones

Yeah, we have a ton of nice knee draggin roads.....
That was fun when I was a cop, no tickets, and I was stupid then, I still cant ride on the street here without riding like a idiot, so I stay on the track.......
That is really pretty country over there..........
Hey Mike, have you ever heard of that company that did the work on that shock, I would like to get a good deal on a shock, but dont want it to be messed up either, also, I am 170 suited,and it was for a 210 pound rider, I would think the rebound would be too fast for me.......
