Raptor1000R Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Hi, I have a DS650 with a Turbo Hayabusa in it. The front end sits really high and I would like to lower it down. i have been looking at getting a shorter shock in order to lower it. Does anyone know if the Fox Floats would be a good shock for this bike? How do they handle the whoops at the bottom of the hills? My other option would be Marvin Shaws? Does any one have an idea what would work best on my bike? Thank for your help!!! Quote

In the quad/off roading world, I know Fox and Ohlins are pretty nice. If your duning with a turbo Busa quad, thats a whole nother story. Quote
Mad Mattress Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I don't know about the DS with a busa, but I love my fox floats. Awesome in the whoops and great in g-outs. I'd give fox a call. Quote

seadoojumper Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 The FOX floats would be great for the hill. I don't know how well they would handle the whoops at the bottom though. Tim at Marvin Shaw is super smart and could help you with the fitting and the set up. Their phone number is 480-982-3942. Quote
