well, im looking to improve the overall handling of it now. for speed its got more than enuff, being the fastest one in our riding group... its always fun to pick on the slow sp700..... well i was looking on aaen, and has anyone here done the dual front shock upgrade?? does it really help handling at all??

 

if you ask me the aaen shock setup is a waste of money,i mean the scramblers are heavy enough who wants to add more weight to it?making your machine wider will totally improve the handling 100%,i went with a +3" axle and flipped my front wheels around which added close to 3"s,that took care of ALL body roll..you can look into the works or fox front struts,im sure that will help with the ride..

 

Do a search on the Works struts. Those should give you a better ride/handling. Maybe a HPD steering damper? Or Progressive Suspension adjustable front springs?

 

k thanks for the input...and as for weight the scrammy seems light to me, ive never ridden an atv that weighs less than 550...

 

I ended up with the Fox front struts. Now my stock ones were completely shot on one side and close behind on the other, but once the Fox struts were in it was like night and day. The response on the steering was actually almost too touchy for me. So if yours are shot the Fox ones are $100 bucks cheaper I think and they are rebuildable too. Just so you know I dont usually like to buy the stuff that is well known. But I really dont have any complaints on the struts.

 

I dont think theres any hope with the macpherson struts, you might think it handles ok until you ride a real sport bike then you'll be mad you did and want to get rid of it like me lol
