hello guys, i was wanting now everyone opinion on what is better and what should i get a steering stem,a steering stabelizer or new upper a-arms. the problem is when i go for a hard four hour ride my upper back and shoulders get beat. i am also going to lossin the shocks in the front.

 

Upper A-arms. Better shocks. Forget about the steering stabilizer, it will just make you work harder, the upper A-arms will correct the twitchiness at speed and in sand. I have works steelers which I now want to upgrade with rezzies and adjustable compression dampening, but at least you can upgrade them. The really good shocks cost SOOO much dough.
The stock shocks have too much rebound dampening. After a couple of hits the front end is compressed into stiffer spring rate and really beats you up. The stock shocks might work for dunes, but anything rough, forget it.
....A steering stem, or just an anti-vibe handlebar mount might be a nice addition, but do the A-arms and shocks first. One option on the A-arms is to do the full monty, +1,+1 upper and lower A-arms, but just the uppers is pretty great. Tires is another thing. If your DS is beating you up, I hear Maxis Razors have a real nice ride, and cross country guys love them.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

I just put the 23" XCT holeshots on the front of mine. (I took them off my Raptor) much better just with that. I also ordered the upper a-arms from Knutz
and a set of rear 22" XCT's.
