random observations...

[Andy]

...after some weekend riding
1) damn, i am either gettin old or just hella outa shape, beat after even just hour of riding.
2) guess nerf bars are useful for more than just MX which I thought they were for, hit em hard on trees several times trying to squeeze through tight trail
3) just got 400ex rear shock on ebay... going to try upgrading per forum suggestion, any tricks to adjusting these (or good place to start?)

this forum is great... certainly a ton of useful info and friendly folksI:I

Oconnorracing sells bushing for the top to fit, the bottom bolt needs to be drilled out, as for adjustments, that is all up to personal preference really

#3 contact ken oconnor he has a bushing kit for installing the ex shock it is not a direct bolt up w/o the kit

thanks guys, yep already contacted to order these, hopefully be here shortly. think I can drill out the lower bolt hole with a just a normal power drill or does this require a drill press?

 

[brandoz28]

you can do it with a normal hand drill, but a drill press makes it easier

the bottom mounts on the swinger needs drilled to the new shocks size, not the shock and a new larger pin used, , and kens bushings eliminate the need for drilling the top,
