what do you think of fastace. do you reckon it will work or it will die on me?.. i dont want 1 to soft( the others should fit i think just 1cm longer then normal)

the one i linked is basically already to long , and the other 2 are to wide/fat and would barely fit through the subframe without bending it out . plus they have extremely heavy springs for a a-style setup.

Spring rate should be around 250-350 lb

Fastace arnt to bad for the price

Ok. do you think that is prolly the best ill get for around $100-$150? i just dont want it to be to hard as i have the bbr tall seat and it is like a rock already haha

with 250lb spring it shouldn't be to hard , its pretty much the softest you can go for a-style

The longer the swingarm the more leverage it has so it will need stiffer spring the longer you go with the swingarm...

with stock swingarm because its so short i think 250 mite be on the stiff side?.

If thats all you are looking at spending then yer the fastace if probably the best bet.

You got a xr50 with stock swingarm correct?


I heard it on here from someone recently that grinded down the shock spring to make it softer. abit dodgy tho.

Yer, i am running the stock swingarm with a stock shock at the moment. i have also got a storm swingarm but it was like impossible to pop a wheelie on that swingarm so i went back to my stock swingarm.
