Is it worth it? found a fox racing one from an F3 for 50 bucks

 

Nope not worth it... where can I find this shock?

 

so is that sarcasm? and dont want to devulge my secrets unless it really isnt lol

 

lol, I saw it on ebay, it looks pretty sacked and should probably be rebuilt but yes it is a good upgrade for a race bike. For a street bike it's not really worth much more than bling factor.

 

...unless you ride a good pace on the street!

Having the full adjustability to dial your bike in helps. Getting it resprung to your weight helps as well. That's next on my agenda since the spring on my new rear isn't for me.

I beleive the fox shocks also have adjustable ride height?

 

yea this is my first bike ever so im just looking to do the little things to make it better and a nicer ride. Any hints from you veterans? and the gearing i found out is plus two in the rear and minus one in the front

 

My bike has the same gearing, pjtime, I like it that way... My riding style may be a little different from yours though

Jnicola, I've raced track for a few years now, my street riding isn't nearly race pace (suicide) but I would consider myself a fast street rider and I do fine with the F3 shock.

 

so even going to an oem F3 shock would be better? any other things? and thanks for all the help guys I appreciate it.

 

sorry again for all the noob questions will F3 forks fit an F2? mine are kinda leaking slowly.

 

F3 forks will fit, but you'll run into issues with the stock rotors F2. It's best just to get an entire F3 Front end and put it on. You get the cartridges, a higher spring rate and nice 298mm semi floater discs. It's awesome, I've got it on mine (except with racetech springs for my weight). It's worlds of difference in every area up front. I've also got the F3 Rear shock sprung for me too. That should bolt up no prob. It's the F4/F4i and newer rear shocks that have trouble. I hear they're a couple inches longer and it takes some work to make them fit unless you want to seriously change your bike's suspension geometry.
