Well I finally have it all together and was able to do a short test today.
For those not familiar with the kit it comes with Rush brake rotor, running board supports, Ripsaw 2, 1.25 track, and Walker Evans shocks front and rear.
I opted for the race valving on the shocks as I go about 230 all geared up and do run bigger bumps at high speed on a regular basis. I found last season that my Sp's Fox rear shocks bottomed frequently and the '1in. Hacksaw track spun quite often so I knew as soon as I had the funds I would be ordering the kit.
Unfortunately I was only able to ride about a 1/4 of a mile as we are having one of the lowest snow Novembers on record so I couldn't really go anywhere due to lack of snow. :wall:
I will add more later on as I am able to run some bigger bumps and try the Ripsaw out off trail. :thumbsup:
So here goes with initial findings: Brakes do feel like they bite a bit harder with the Rush brake rotor, running boards have no flex now and are very solid, Ripsaw 2 hooks up fantastic. I am very happy with this track and besides the shocks was the most noticeable improvement.
On to the shocks. I set both my rear clickers at #5 from soft, torsions on full hard and front track shock a few turns from soft how my Fox was set. Transfer blocks are all set to stock positions. Still have stock springs in as well.
Very impressed!!! like I said I didn't ride but about a 1/4 of a mile but was able to find some road approaches and good size bumps to hit. Swallowed them with ease and best of all no bottoming!! True test will be when I am able to get out on the river to see how they handle the high speed stuff but initial findings are very good indeed.
Bunke front Walker Evans shocks come with a #120 spring compared to an #80 stock. I set the clickers at #5 from soft once again springs are set a few turns from loose. When using the Bunke Walkers he has you remove the swaybar as well. I noticed immediately that there was now hardly any body roll wich was a major problem for me with the stock front shocks. They feel amazing on the big hits and soak up the small stuff as well, just like the rears. Again very happy.
Well thats all for now. As I get some real time on these and get them in some better conditions I will add to this thread,
Cheers. :fistpump2:
