been trying for almost a year now, when i get extra funds, to win a "works" rear shock for under $200
today was my day, just snagged this puppy for $122.50....................

TRX400EX Works UltraCross rear shock

gonna do a full polishing of it and the yfz triple rate works i'll be stealing from my sons bike over the winter teardown, he'll get my dual rates
 
/\/\/\ already won asr +3+1 a few weeks ago for $125, look almost new, thats why i said "the deals just keep comin"
now just gotta work on an extended swinger and axle
 
/\/\/\ i do, i do, cause i aint got the loot to buy new, but damn i'm gonna have to soon get this mod sickness looked at !!!!!!

i said i was done earlier in the year, but after ken oconnor and i found out about the junkass green base gaskets, that was sucked in blocking my transfers, and he fixed that with a stock one, this thing is a real beast, and inspired me to go further (further into debt, hahaa)

this motor is way too much for the stock a-arms, works dual rates up front, trz450r on a stock swinger, i am running now, i can barely keep the front end on the ground, i was just out today, and the 22" fronts on yfz rims i won last week for $90 made it even worse, so extended swinger and g-force axle are next
plus the way too long yfz works on stock a-arms, on my sons, destroyed the ball joints from too much angle, so they'll go good with my asr's. and i got him '05 arms from 442 that'll go good with my dual rates
 
/\/\/\ i do, i do, cause i aint got the loot to buy new, but damn i'm gonna have to soon get this mod sickness looked at !!!!!!


+1 and i have the sickness X 3

brians blaster, my raptor, and kevins lt80.
just put a spare blaster pet weiner in it, as the vacume
set up pet weiner sucked, and just ordered new tires n wheels, +3 rear wheel spacers, chain tensioner and a pipe.

that 80 is a fun little bike, and will surely turn some heads with the pipe
and some jetting. i was blasting around the back 40 with it today.
its cool, cuz its so damn short it whips around the trees much better then the blaster or raptor.
gotta say, its the funnest thing for around the property

the sickness will never subside
 
acidrayn..... "down with the sickness" !!!!!!!!!!

yup. and im totally jealous on that shock man. good deal.
i stalk ebay constantly.

i got a 400ex stock shock for 22.00 with shipping.
it turned out to have a blown seal head. went back and forth with the guy
and ebay refunded my money cuz he listed it as working.

he said he didnt want it back cuz he would have to pay the return shipping.

took it to my local honda shop, got it rebuilt for 31.00!

that and i got a gytr pipe and muffler for my raptor for 72.00.
that thing goes for over 350.00, it had "make an offer" so i did
and he took it!

going to looke at graphics kits now for brians blaster

keep in minnd, i have 1 fords and 3 harleys that i do this sh*t with too.

the wife hates me sometimes, she will ask for a week off from the ups guy. lol
 
yeah, between my ebay parts and my mother orderin QVC sh*t every other day,
the mailman hates us, and the ups guy knows us by name
i keep my blasters at my moms house, easy access to "awk mountain" so i have the parts shipped there too
 
well, that makes this even sweeter, glad i missed that "elka valved and springed" stock 400ex shock last week for $150
 
Great deal awk.it takes some hard work hunting for good deals.I think it's more fun that way.you take all that time hunting and when you do find the deal,it makes you feel great.
 
dont know if the asr's are long travel or not yet, they got delivered to my girls house and i still havent taken them home yet, but trust me, if the mounts need adjusted/moved/re-welded to accept the yfz length front works,
they will be long travel when i'm done with them !!!!
