Yeah I'll post a pic I really like the way it sits with the higher seat height but I'm looking at a 250r axle so the extra width should get me a little more stability.

i've been ramping doubles and triples on my warrior rear shock for almost a year, so far no problems. i have blown out my 2nd set of 250r front shocks, but they didnt look like they would last. all rusted up when i bought them. i think i might just order a set of Works in a few months for the front.

I put a pic in the quadsport album on my page I know I can adjust it but I like the feel of it so I'm gonna go with it. I like the rebound adjustment as well it seems to come back so much quicker. I like the 250r shocks too...but works all around would be better

the warrior rear shock will almost outlast the Works rear shock. but the problem with used 250r fronts are , if you're a ramping nut like me, they wont usaully take too many hard landings.

if i'm not mistaken, i think the warrior rear shock can be rebuilt if the seals fail.

i think we'll hit the 1000 page mark tonight.

like BigMC said in his sig, "keep'em alive". he's the godfather of this thread. the one who started it all.

just think this thread is 5 years old and still running strong. new 230 blood is always welcome here.

Well I plan on sticking around as long as the 85 (and any others I may acquire...) 230 is still running strong. Maybe at some point I'll be as knowledgable as you all...
