Long Travel BS Thread

One more from same spot. Gonna be adding about 100lbs or so to rear very soon. But would like to have a lil room to move compression tube out more if need be. Hope these lil jumps give an idea of what I'm experiencing.

 

sweet man saw these on IG. are you going to the superstition trip?

 

Yeah rear is too stiff and front is too soft. Once we get that sorted out truck should handle great!

Same jump



Different day was in much better shape

 

For the truck? The cheapest helmet with forced air and wired is the HJC AR-10 i just picked up 2 but they are in the 400 range. (cheapest i found)

 

Yeah I found that one for $315 delivered but I'm not going to spend that much. I wore that one last year at BAP and it was pretty nice. I'm going to get an open faced one like Tyler suggested.

 

yeah jason has you on the right track. Put a twenty for the comp up front and it shouldnt slam as hard. ( wish i couldve got a ride but saturday didnt goes as planned as i though haha )

As for the rear, im runnin 12/10 and i was going to drop down to 10/8. Something you might want to consider is doing what you said and dropping the comp to 10 and see how it goes. shocks are easy to take apart if that worries you too.

 

I don't think you're going to find a wired motorsports helmet much cheaper Matt, used perhaps. Bell or Simpsons are cheap and in my experience are junk.

 

Yeah I'm not worried about it being wired for right now. This is just a temp place holder until I'm ready to do the comm system down the road.

 

Understood, you could always adapt whatever choice you make with a chatter box system.

 

That's true. I'm pretty sure I'm just going to pick up this helmet for now, good airflow being an open face:

Speaking of valving, I rebuilt and revalves my foxs in the rear with an #80 for comp and #30 for rebound. The rebound is about right, could stiffen it up so it don't droop as quick, but the compression on the other hand is Wayyyy to soft. I have the old shims still, no clue what they are but the compression was stiffer for sure. Any ideas on what I should do? I'm running 200psi in them

 

Anyone interested in my rear end (4:88's (Nitro gears) and a locrite) only 5k miles on it total (3k miles w/ the upgrades)...I might have it up for sale soon.

 

How much? I'm thinking 37s soon

EDIT: shit it's prob a 8.4

 

Not an 8.0 with a locrite in there. haha

 

Yeah its an 8.4.

How much are you thinking?

 

Ended up waiting on the rear end and just bought some bypasses(front), bumps(rear), sport color matched grill and new lighting. I'll wait on the 9" til something goes boom or until the time comes for links.

 

Ya a lil worried cuz never done it

Ya was gonna do the front first then hit superstition meet and see how it does. I am adding some weight to the rear soon too so that may help a bit. Through the whoops it just felt a lil on the harsh side in rear, front to soft but still did ok. But like u said with the front acting like it does....think it's pretty close just needs a tad less compression so I have a lil room to adjust based off terrain. Really want it dialed for hauling through good sized whoops, but I will be hucking this piece too.

So 20 comp n rebound and 12 or 10 flutter (like u stated earlier) so wut woulda 12 flutter be compared to a 10 flutter? 10 a tad softer?

Sorry guys I know for many it's pretty basic common knowledge, but not for me....at least not yet.
