Just a little name we gave Erich, and it's stuck with him.

He's a big bastard.

At the Cubs game yesterday....

:lol:

I think Erich does have a pretty wicked suspension set up though. He should be able to get you dialed in when he decides to make an appearance this afternoon.

I just posted it using the "Additional Options" at the bottom left where you enter text to post on a thread. You work probably censors images and you're not able to see images from hotlinking.

How is your stock rear shock working for you?
Is a respring/valve in order?

I'm 5' 11' & #260 riding on '06 Yamaha pogo sticks  :(
I need a shock upgrade very soon. Well I'm off to buy lottery tickets   :lol:

for the record i'm 6'8" and 280.  My front set up is custom built motowoz shocks riding on a set of houser sli-cast +2 a-arms.  I haven't had much chance to test these out but I'll let you know as soon as I do. 

My rear shock is the SE shock that has been revalved and resprung by wiggstyle racing.  Josh does great work and I'm very happy with how it feels now.

My Dad hasn't been out on his 08 SE enough to get a good feeling for it yet, but he is 6'4" and probably 310 lbs.  We haven't yet begun to dial in his suspension, but I can tell you from watching when he gets on the quad, she is none too happy! :grin_nod:

He'll need to do valve work.
