Suspension shops????

#1 Post by yz250fpilot » Sat Apr 04, 2015 1:04 pm

I have the factory front and rear suspension on my 84 RZ350. It is pretty soft, and not very impressive. I am not really wanting to put in the effort to research and do a suspension swap, but I would like something a bit better. I have had my motocross bikes done by Race Tech and Factory Connection with good results; is there a reputable company that can do something good to the factory RZ350 suspension?

I'm thinking Race Tech. Steve (Off Road) might be able to chirp in here.

I'll be installing Race Tech emulators and springs in my LC (84 forks) when I build it as I've done with all my sport bikes. Very simple to do the installation but you still have to know how to set up your suspension for them to work really well, you may have to play with the emulators a bit.

Race-Tech for the forks.

The shock is a poor item that needs replacement. If you can find a decent Fox Shock at a reasonable price it's a solid replacement. But I'd add $200 for a service on top of purchase when budgeting when buying used. If the budget is no issue Penske makes some great stuff.
