I’m looking into shocks and I’m stuck on what I should think about getting. I’m mostly doing trail riding and occasional track days. I may sound cheap, but I don’t really want to spend 1000 bucks on shocks. Any suggestions would be great!

Troll ebay. But you wont ever get suspension set up for your weight and riding style and suspension geometry unless you bite the bullet and buy new.

Haha. What’s your opinion on the 450r shocks ?

 

[SlammedRanger]

My opinion is i weigh 175 and for me they are super stiff. Even on the softest setting.

Hmm. Everybody says they’re super awesome and everything for a 400. Im kinda on the fence about them though.

I just went out and hit a couple jumps and I remembered why I don’t hit jumps with these stock shocks lol

You can buy them and send them out to be re-valved for your weight. I have heard good things about doing that. For me though stock setup 450r shocks were stiff. The only positive was the adjustability. But it was kinda pointless because i ran them soft as they could be all the time.

Do you know of any decent shocks I should look for off the top of your head?

Triple rate atleast. With either remote resi or piggyback. TCS, elka, works, custom axis, any of them honestly will do what you require of them.

Alright I’ll keep an eye out for some.
