I know it sucks and I too know how it is to be low on the flow (money). Good luck with the job hunt and the saving.
Well said!!
I am sure you can get someone here or ? to help you set up what you have now to the best they can etc, but thats sounding like its about it until you get the $$$ to upgrade.
If no one else steps up drop me a pm or email and I will help out how I can with how to measure and fine tune etc., but it would be best if you can find someone local who can watch you ride and make adjustments in person.
Hope everything is going well etc, and it would suk if you had to get a job to support your business (did that once, and never again lol).
Maybe you may want to look into some sort of cell# set up for dealing with things during the day etc. Not sure if that would work for you, but I know many people dont have any patience and not being able to reach you would pretty much kill the benefits of all of your knowledge and experience etc.
I had a job offer that I couldn't refuse so I took it. So far everyone seems to be cool with the way I'm doing it. I wouldn't want to have my cell phone ringing all the time with my new job.
even if the shocks has some worn components that needs to be raplaced like seals and bushings and shafts still wouldnt it be cheaper than buying shocks all worn part can be replaced just see what its gonna take to get them back up to par those shocks will perform just as good as aixs elka and others if setup right~
Originally posted by DIRT I dont understand. These shocks were resprung but in the pic it looks like a stock main spring?Just changing the upper spring to a SSD is not going to help you.I felt the stock moto springs were way too stiff and I weight 180 lbs.
You got it.Got rid of my stock springs a long time ago.As far as Karas shock being worn out.Anything can be repaired fairly cheap. Its obvious that Kara didnt have enough money to replace the main springs.A good option would be to try some of the springs on there Jeff usually puts on.Could also set the hieght using some spacers.

ok well job hunting day #2398703987 will happen tomorrow. A lot depends on if i can find a job and if i find some sponsors willing to give some cash for next yrs race season. I need a lot of luck on this one
I guess my luck with jobs and cash sponsors will determine what I do with these shocks.
