Front Shock Q's

[Redman]

I've read all the old shock posts and have new questions. I like to jump and take corners hard but the front stock Ohlins ( better than anything else stock) are not good for hard core riding.
Q 1= Does that dual rate conversion work?
Q2= Can you get compression Adjustable resiviors for them?
Q3= If I get ressies and dual rates for my stockers, would it be cheaper and better to get the blazes Ohlins or other aftermarket shocks.
I am on a budget and cannot afford $900 front shocks.
I need better shocks before spring!!!!

Thanks for the help!

Ohlins will rebuild your shocks. I think the re-valve and dual spring conversion was 220.

Thanks for the information.

Does anyone have this conversion?
How does it work?

[Redman]

I'd like to stick with these shocks, but it might be better and cheaper to get some used shocks off Ebay or something.

[jcv440]

Just remember, with used shocks you'll be spending around $25 per shock for a re-valve and filled with new oil.

I'd call Ohlins first, then look at PEP's (Baldwins Racing)or Elkas(Quad Shop).

We are working with Elka now on a kit that will add rezzy's and Comp adjust to those shocks!:cool:

[LapTraffic]

will there be rebound as well?

what's gonna be the ballpark price of the kit?

Thanks for the info!

[JeffQuadShop]

No, their will not be rebound adjust. I'm not sure on pricing yet.
