I added another inch or so to the spring preload on mine to give it more compression travel... I also toned down the rebound in the rear about 5 clicks...
looking forward to the review!

@nbomar is laying low of social media for the next week. He knew I wanted those exact shocks so he made sure to flip me some crap on those and the nice weather lol. Says they feel nice but hasn't had a chance to beat them up yet

I asked my wife what facebook is cause maybe I would check out the honda site there.
She said I dont need to join another site cause this one is costing enough and giving me too many ideas. Whatever does she mean?

Also - I looked facebook thru her account. What a piece of crap - why the h3ll is it so popular?

So I can definitely tell I have different shocks. We took a trail that the month after we bought the Honda it about beat us to death and it wasn't bad at all this weekend. I also didn't bottom out at all the whole weekend. I didn't push it super hard being that I already had a bent tie rod and the wife and dog in the back don't like jumping very much. I did manage to get a few jumps in and it handled great. My final results (so far) are if you push your ride hard the shocks are well worth it. If you don't ride hard, save your money they aren't worth it. It will never be a long travel Rzr but this is a good conciliation.

I sold Tim my shorty roof and gave him the Honda A arm guards, he was in the blue truck behind me. He is happy, so am I, lost my butt on them, but they will be of good use, not sitting my shop gathering dust.

That's what it's about! I've sold some things for cheaper than I should too but I consider myself fortunate to be able to go out and do one of the things I love and will gladly help a fellow rider.

Pulling into the driveway of mulberry. We were headed to buy new tires and a tie rod. Made it back around 11:50 from Springdale and rode around 40 miles that day
