I ride a 95 300ex. One of my favorite things to do is jump anything that isn't moving. The problem is I weigh about 200 lbs. and the suspension is pretty worn. I am looking for something that is a little heavy duty so I don't bottom out every other time I land. I have bent the handle bars, broke a foot peg, and racked myself one to many times! Please help!

 

Michael, I had the same problem. Have you tried to adjust the shocks. When I bought mine they were set from the factory at 3 and I cranked them up to the max on the front and the rear. It helped a lot, especially on the whoops.

 

This may be a bit pricey but i have a pair of Works triple rate w/ resevoirs on my 400EX. The work great and saved my from alot of near disasters. My friend has dual rates on his 250X (almost identical to your 300) and he likes them very much as well. The nice thing is when you order them the custom make them to your weight. A little on the $$$ side but the work VERY well, my 2 cents.

I believe I will have to use something like that. I checked my stock shocks and, as I suspected, they were adjusted all the way. Can you give me any ideas as to where I can get a good deal on some of those shocks?
