The stock shocks are to stiff for me and I want more suspension travel, I'am used to the DS650 which I think has the best suspension of any stock quad and I would like to get my V-Force closer to that.

Oh, Im sure in a few months every one in the business will be making aftermarket parts for the V-Force. I dont know of anyone makeing shocks yet. How does the V-Force compare to your DS650 in terms of flat out speed and wheeling? Have you checked your V-Force with a GPS yet?

You can probably rebuild/revalve the shocks for alot cheaper than buying new units.

I deffinetly want shocks I know elka has them and so does TCS but I don't know which brand is better and I don't know anything about PEP shocks, as for my DS650 it has a pipe, cdi and K&n and it smokes my V-Force but I have faith in the V-Force after the Mods start comeing out.

Thanx for the feed back I spoke with roll design and they said to go with Elka's, they said they are zero preload, reduce ride height and give 2" more wheel travel which the v-force needs here in the east. So I think I will go with the elka's I will keep you posted. Bye the way my ITP Baja wheels and spacers will be here today thanx for the heads up on those.
