LOL, sasquatch. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I would really like to compair out front ends. When they were elka's I wasnt too impressed. I got it revalved and the difference was NIGHT AND DAY!!!


How was the ride for the skinny boys, since they are valved for sasquatch.

My front end is bigger and gives a much better ride. :rofl: :rofl: 8)

Too bad your Mom is the only one who knows for sure  :thumbs:

Corrected !!  :lol:

Are you going to replace the rear shock anytime soon?

I was running the same setup as you, and the addition of a good rear shock is just icing on the cake!
Just a little 81hp trail bike.

When I eventually do get into a-arms thats what I want to do is the sli-cast ones. I reallllly want the laeger pro-trax front end but $2200 without shocks or $3100 with elkas doesnt sound so good.

Read all about it in this link.  The adjustments are out of this world.

You can get these and the best motowoz for less then 2200.

I just took a look at the pro-trax front end and I didn't see half the adjustments that the sli-cast have.  But the laeger is more since it comes with a stem, but still WAY over priced for what you get.

We would get into areas where everyone was hitting the breaks to slow down and I would just hammer it down and float across it.  Can't say enough about the motowoz, best I've ever ridden.

Well as most of you know I have the motowoz tripple rate shocks on houser sli-cast +2 LT a-arms.  Well this weekend at silver lake was the first chance I was able to really put them through the ringer.  All I can say is HOLY CRAP!  These shocks blew me away.  I kept trying to find a point where I had to back off because it was getting too rough and I couldn't find it.  Every time I saw a real rough patch full of whoops and deep sand rail tracks I just punched it.  I floated over the top of everything.  I even put Mad Dog on my bike to see what he thought and I believe his words when he got off the bike were..."Wow! I am truly impressed...truly".  He had one huge shit eating grin on his face when he pulled up.....sand84 also took it for a ride so you can also ask him what he thought about it.

I know this set up is a bit pricey but it is more then worth it, I've ridden a few bikes with other set ups like the ishock LT set up and they can't even compare. 


I'm so glad you didn't get the ishock setup and spent the extra money on the Motowoz. I absolutely love my setup.  Thanks for sharing your experience.
