is this shock good

[bilko71]

hey everyone i was just looking on ebay and seen this shock
is it anygood and is this a cheap price for it
let us know okeBay Australia: Fastace 58AR shock suit mini pit bike 125cc 138cc 140cc (item 250119012564, end time 03-Jun-07 16:31:20 AEST)

yes its a great shock and yes its a good price if you want to buy it direct from me you can, also what type of swingarm do you have?

 

[Fuzzmini]

As you probably already notice the brand is Fastace for the shock. Well if it is genuine one then I'd say you should bid it yet from my personal experience I can pretty much tell that is a fake so it's your call.

 

[Divy]

its for a triangle swingarm so if you have a muno swingarm dont buy it

 

[bilko71]

hey divy im not 100% sure wat a triangle swingarm looks like man i always forket do u no wat a pitpro 140cc has

 

[daniel40]

they dont have those type of swingarms you would need to get a fastace 66rc or somthing.

 

[bilko71]

thanks daniel not that good at the tech shit but getting there

 

[dirttau]

why would it not fit a mono swing arm

 

[daniel40]

there a longer shock

 

[dirttau]

its the same lenth as the stock one i have now 270mm

 

[Divy]

triangle swingarms like the crf50 an thumpstars there shock is 270mm eye to eye

mono swingarms like pitpros klx110s there shock is 280mm eye to eye

 

[tubes380]

its not so much the length of the shock its the spring rate and yes its a genuine fastace shock.
the mono shocks run a 1000lbs/in spring the triangle ones have either a 250 or 550lbs/in shock in them, so if you used the worng one itll either be too soft or too hard.
the length will only change the geometry of the bike a little but its not really an issue for 10mm difference.

 

[dirttau]

so i just checked mine again and i do have a mono swing arm the shock is 270mm eye to eye so this shock will fit it

 

[Divy]

if its a mono swingarm i wouldnt reconmend it cause its only 550lbs so as tube said it will be too hard or too soft

he is 2 links to some fastace rear shocks that are 1000lbs and better for mono swingarms

second link is better

 

[dirttau]

my son is only 49 kg will that make a difference to the shock on a mono

 

[tubes380]

you could probably get away with a 550lbs/in for a 49kg kid but it would depend on how hard he rides.

 

[Maylands Performance]

Hi dirttau...Your son is certainly not going to get any smaller/lighter so your better off going for a shock with a stiffer spring rate ,beter too stiff than suffering bike and handling woes due too harsh bottoming out.....We carry the Genuine Fastace 66RC shocks !!!!
Check out our website and Email us

Cheers Brian

 

[daniel40]

there around the same price you might as well get the one that is suited to your bike.

 

[dirttau]

i already have a new one now i see its no good to me and my son is still learning to ride it so no jumps yet

 

[jacko]

what shock did you end up buying
