tRoy,

What fork springs did you get? I went with .95 Progressives and didn't like 'em. Ended up with 1.0 Sonics...much better for me.

Traxxion shipped my Sport Shock with the wrong lower mount - clevis instead of eye - but they made it right and didn't even want the "wrong" one back. Nice folks to do business with.

Steve, my Penske is cranked up pretty far.  My rear wheel is ~1/2" from the ground on the centerstand.  Further my stock fork springs are tired too, so the rake is "pretty steep" for a FJ, and stability IS NOT AN ISSUE, at least at any speeds I've ridden.

I'm so excited

hehe, I did change the order # before posting..

I don't know what rate spring(s) I will get .. I ordered them for 1986 FJ1200 + 370lbs

Oh yeah, ....  well I changed it back!

What spring are you getting on the shock?  Jeff had me get 950# springs on both of my Sport Shocks. But Chris Murphy took his FJ into Traxxion and they wound up putting a 1200# spring on his.  Just curious

I'll let you know when they get here, or you let me know when they get there

I have the 1200# spring on my 86 as well. I requested that spring after reading Chris M's report of his trip to Traxxion to fine tune his suspension. I don't know if that is the standard spring rate for our FJ's now, but I have been more than pleased with the performance of my shock, in tandem with the 1.0kg rate springs and emulators in the front end. All I had to compare to though was the stock shock and springs. The only other FJ's I have ridden have been stock. All I know is that she handles sooo much nicer...

Cheers...Jake

What spring are you getting on the shock?

I got my shock Friday! came with a 1400lb spring! 86FJ1200 + 370lbs (me + 150 misc lbs) ... set ride height, eyeballed the sag, turned the clicker to 10 clicks off full hard.. then went and rode the shit out of it. 

Just FYI  "The Triple Nickel" (Ohio rt 555) is totally covered with sand!  (I can't imagine why  )

..fork springs are on backorder probably get them next week.

Wheres the best place to get cartridge emulators?

PS sorry Fred 

[jvb_ca]

TRoy...keep your eye open on any SV board. The early SV use the same emulator as our FJ. Check racetechs website for the part numbers to cross reference. I know there are lots of them on the track up here as we have an SV cup series. I managed to pick mine up on fleabay for 60 bucks...had been sitining on some guys shelf for so long the plastic packaging was gone yellow. Let me know if ya needs the inst's.

Cheers...Jake

Mike at SoupysPerformance sent me the following link:

http://www.soupysperformance.com/catalog/item/4408900/7936748.htm

and is now selling adjustable dogbones for the later FJ1200.


I know most of us after a set of raising links.  Soupy says: "if you would like them, place an order for the above lowering links and include a note in the comments on the right prior to adding to cart that says:  'raising links needed, per soupy'.  Those raising links will be capable of raising the tail about 1.5 inches".


I ordered a set.

Traxxion shipped my Sport Shock with the wrong lower mount - clevis instead of eye - but they made it right and didn't even want the "wrong" one back. Nice folks to do business with.

... so would it be accurate to say that the sport shock I have for sale (86) will fit all years, just gotta change the lower mount?

... hey Rock you still got that mount?
