ok soo here the deal i got an indy 500 with like 8.5 dial adjust in the rear and the whatever shocks with 8 inch travel up front, i was recently told that the ryde fx gas shocks for the old girl would make it much more amazing. I am a fairly agressive rider and was told that the shocks were self adjusting so that they the rough trails would be a little easier to travel and what not. supposelyy the ryde fx 8200 seris in the shocks for im not a pro racer or nothing but i would like to know if they are worth the money to put into an older sled any additional info you need just ask

Definitely worth the extra $.

you think itd be more worth it to buy the xtra 10 ? or just buy the ryde fx? lots of people say the x-10 is perfect for an indy but i got a couple guys who know what there doign and they say its good enough. so personal opinions what should i do and anything to support those opinions would be greatly apreciated.

thanks,
don

Depends on how much $ you want to spend.
The X-10 would be a much better ride (more travel), but if you are $ challenged, just put in the rydeFX shacks.

i could probly get the x-10 rear for around 300 bucks?(not sure how much full would be) you got any idea how much the shocks are(all around) i looked at the site but of course theres no prices :P
