Default LT80 Shock

So here we are jumping the LT80...and the upper shock mount (on the shock) snaps off. Anybody have a used shock? a new shock? an aftermarket shock? PM if ya do. Thanks

Something else you might try is finding a small dirtbike shock just a little longer, and make a bracket to mount it behind the muffler,someone on this forum did that a while back, and said it made a world of difference on the rear suspension,ended up with several inches of travel instead of 2".

Well i found out that a predly 90 shock bolts up to this thing and can hold a little more weight for us big boys. I might pick up a shock from LT80 and the predly too incase it happens again.

Bad part about it is when the back shock broke the back of the bike came down on the axle. All the weight went on the pipe and it broke the exhaust flange off the cylinder. Ouch...

Sorry for asking but what is a Predly 90? Is it a Polaris Predator 90?

Whats up Dabeech, Honda too slow so you going with an LT80!! j/k

My son has a LT80, and I know what you mean about the front shock issue. He doesn't jump anything yet, thank God.

With my twofitty pound @ss it still moves pretty good.
