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.



Same here, I couldn't be more happy with my decision.

Wowzers Big E, that thing is looking sweet, I've been eyeing MotoWoz front & rear shocks.  One of these days I'll have saved enuff cash  :)

A few hours working on it after every ride is what keeps it looking that way.   :thumbs:

I'll +1 the Motowoz and houser arms. I ended up only going with the +.5 arms since all my riding is in the woods...didnt want to make it too wide! I have the rear motowoz, and it blew away my stock set up by far!

Yeah..it was alittle expensive...but well worth it. I sold my R1 so i had enough money to fix it up the way it should be. When i had the stock shocks on it, it was like riding a bull through the woods. The combination of gobs of torque and feeling every rock and root and rot was not a good combination. Now it handles like a quad should handle...and i'm not as beat up at the end of the day like i normally was.


Hit one bad rock at 40mph and when you have to sink $1000 into the quad for new a arms, or to straighten the frame...or something else...what are you left with after you fix it....the same quad you started with. Well take that money and sink it prior into new shocks and the chances you ever feel that rock go wayyyy down. :thumbs:

Nice..you will enjoy them...just take the time to get them set up for your riding style. I should have done this mod first...it doesnt matter how fast your quad is if you can only go over stuff at a certain speed.
