need heavy duty rear shock for shee!!

[wideopenracing]

im a 200lb guy an i constantly bottom the rear shock out. i cant seem to find a heavy duty shock except for elka an i dont have that much money......

[swrbansheeboy]

i know alot of shops can re-spring and re-valve your stocker. cascade innovations does it and i know they used to use eibach springs also...

MX86 on this site can help you out....He'll be alot cheaper than anybody else...He does great work..I had my rear shock completely went through by him...

GT THUNDER in ohio does mine. i'm 210lbs and they did one for my stretched banshee. less than a week turnaround and the price was great.. for a respring and revavle was $160. haven't found anybody to beat that yet. at 200lbs your most likely gonna need a different spring

I was thinking the same thing..
Send it out & have it serviced to your preferance.
I'll eventually send all 3 shocks to TCS in Cali for revalve & respring into dual rates. They'll even anodize if you want something pretty.
Works is also good & down they street from me but I didn't like their customer service when I called 3 times & placed on hold a bunch of times & wouldn't answer my questions. Here's the links:

yea 200 pounds aint that heavy, its not like your 4000 pounds and cant find anyone with a spring for your weight. lots of places to resprinign and revalving, and ive also heard good thinks about mx86's suspension work

Oh yeah, stock front's are junk but rears are pretty good once reserviced.

[wideopenracing]

what are some good cheap fronts for a +2 +1 a arm......cuz thats way over extending the stock shits

[erik6767]

the stock front shocks are throw aways, and u should do exactly that with them if your doin any serious riding, alot of guiys have the 450 frontend conversion, raguncajun just did one on his, itll make it like 2 1/4 inches wider on each side i think, and sit a little lower, there are a couple guys on bansheehq that sell them pre-cut and ready to mount up to a banshee with tie-rods from a 450 too, then pickup a set of shocks off a guy from a 450 forum or even ebay, the forums are the best way to go though.. that would be a great improvement for your front end to keep up with your rear end, the wider stance make it so much more stable , its night and day when u get some +2 arms
