OK, so the standard shock seems to work OK, but what have other people fitted as an upgrade. Do any of those cheapie pitbike shocks on Trade Me work ok? I'd ideally like something a bit firmer than standard and maybe a little longer could be good too? Any suggestions?
gee wizzz
mate dont even bother looking at a pittie shock--itll be worse than what you've got.Originally Posted by gav
i'd be looking seriously at the back of a 125GP bike,Maybee a streetstock 150 --Im sure someone will have figured out a way to modify a rear shock and stay inside the SS150 rules or have a look at maybee one of the 85cc offroad racers.

What rules? he could use a TTX36. Just we'd push him off.
Actually on a 50 you don't try push anyone off, they might steam roll you with one of their barge like 4 stroke thingies..

They made me one coz they didn't have one on the books. 10mm longer than original. Fully adjustable version. Recycled the original spring to save some money. Just call them they were really good to deal with.
They said they would keep the spec from what I did for any other FXR replacements.

Good idea bring this up Gav. I have been looking at a way of upgading the rear shock, but the bucket i.e. half arsed and for sweet FA $, but havent managed to come up with anyhting yet.
For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

some MX shocks are good in buckets, JC is running a WP kx85 shock on his test bike, seems to handle well.

I think it was $420 Aussie. They have cheaper options without compression dampening adjustment. Just rebound. If I could have found a none poked standard one I think changing the oil would have been the first thing I did. Drill, valve, ect.$$'s?

Holy shit, thats one expensive bucket upgrade. I would look at upgrading the standard shock 1st, surely that would be a cheaper option?

Trying to get ya post count up??
I've rephrased my reply a tadd.
What I was saying was that some SS150 riders might have figured out how to modify an RG150/KR150 shock and stay inside the SS 150 rules.

You mean cheat but from the outside appear legal?
A cheaper upgrade would be for the more erm, manly shaped men would be to fit a stiffer spring or shorten the existing one. Then drill & braze on a tyre valve & replace the old oil
