Fastace BS-66-RC-280L shock

[Suzuki_Master]

Hey, I have a MSO X6R and last week my current rear shock snapped in half so now I am looking for a new shock. I had the Fastace BS-58-RC-270L on it which is the shock that snapped. So i am looking for a shock that is a little stronger and have spotted the BS-66-RC-280L. I was just wanderin, would this shock fit on my X6R? Or would it be too long?

Thanks for your help.

You would be suprised how much 10mm extra length makes to the swingarm angle, Id personally stick with 270mm one,

I am planning on doing freestyle on my MSO and just dont think that the BS-58 would be able to handle the landing. When it snapped the highest i had ever jumped was about 1m. so if it snaps over that jump imagine what could happen over a 2m jump. and i had only had it for a couple of months now. Is there any stronger 270mm shocks available for under $200?

Are there any other good quality 270mm shocks that can handle freestyle jumps other than the Fastace BS-58-RC?

what about the dnm shocks

Thanks akim21, I have heard about them but does anyone know of someone who sell DNM shocks here in Australia? I found one on pitpro.com.au but there was only 1 and it was $279 and i cant really afford that at the moment.

Well i didn't really wanna start a new thread so i thought i'd come here to ask a new question.

I am looking to buy a new rear shock and it can be a 280mm. does anyone know which shock is best value for money.

I really want a quality shock though because it will be used for jumping.

Hey Stumbows, I have been looking at the DNM shocks and they look like they would be a good quality shock. They are about $240-$300 (the ones i've seen) but i think they would be worth it as alot of brands seem to be using them. And they have metal bushes instead of the rubber ones. Check out the one on ebay that akim21 posted up:
