    With the front and the rear together I coast through turns with so much more control. I love suspension mods the most. Only negative side is bumps are more pronounced since things are even stiffer now. But its honestly practically the same. Highly recommended if your going for the sport feel and not just low and slow.

    Yeah actually if you unbolt that brace and trim it you will be fine its the part the fender goes into that fucks things up especially when you run 9.5" wide wheels with +20 mm offset :)

    shit thus the first time i took my bike out in a long time actually i miss riding som much but since i work weekends i haven't gone out in so long i need to flush everything and put fresh fluids
    im a honda and yamaha guy but i lean on honda just lil more:)

    Shit I've been riding for most of my life I'm not pro but its a blast

    Its a 2008 CRF 250R 4 stroke

    I went from a 110 Pit to a CR 85 big wheel then jumped to a monster 2007 CR 250 2 stroke and i was in 8th grade 110 lbs. last 2 stroke honda 250 sold in Hawaii but ended up being too much bike for me at the time so we sold it and got me a 2008 YZ 125 which i ended up fracturing my back on hahaha long story then sold that for my 2008 CRF 250R and about a year after buying the bike i only rode once every 2-3 months due to sports but yeah i miss riding sooooooooooo much I've always been a dirt guy:):)
    i really wish i still had the 250 2 stroke had so much power and it was the last year too hard to find

    So I got this Roadmaster active suspension system. It works awesome feels like nothing is even loaded in my truck. Only problem is I set it set stiff at 40% additional load carrying and it raised me back up an inch, maybe a little more :( I have to try to loosen the coil and set it to the 25% additional load carrying setting and see if it lowers back down an inch. Still experimenting. I'm happy with its performance, it will be nice if I can keep my truck low and use this at the same time. Stay tuned, here's where I'm at currently.

    Before the Roadmaster
    20130625_164709_440f4c1c30534063ae9fba324e7529a9cce7480f.jpg
    Loaded before Roadmaster

    20130626_183704_47150ce4098fb7fbcf411d0109d6831a983f0d46.jpg

    So as you can see Roadmaster is lifting me at least an inch at the 40% additional load setting. Hopefully I can get this lower.

    Are your QA-1s still set on Rock-of-Gibralter stiffness or did you dial them down after putting the RoadMasters on?

    Seems to me that these RoadMasters would have some advantages over air bags:
    • You won't have to constantly make sure the air bags aren't under-inflated
    • You won't have to replace broken bags in the future ($$$)
    • You won't have to worry about the bags rubbing on your swaybars
    Makes me think maybe I should send my air bags back before attempting to modify them to work with the StreeTaco blocks. Hmmm...

    i have my qa1's on 1 or 2, i dont even know that you need qa1's with this sytem installed. It drives really smooth with them even when unloaded. Pretty neat system. Yes, not checking up on it like air bags will definately be nice. I still need to test it on the 25% setting and see how it does. I wanna stay as low as i was and be able to haul. We'll see if its possible tho! yah if you can wait i can post my results when i try the other setting. But your not going super low yah? so it might not even be a major issue for you. Im thinking now also if it stays close to the same height at the 25% setting i could just throw in 4 inch blocks and be back where i was without the system having the three inch beefed blocks.
