2017 P700-4

[bdk437]

Just bought this ride and very happy except the suspension is a little light.
I don't need to lift it any further but would like to upgrade the shocks.

What are people happy with?

Well, HELLO bdk437. Welcome to the forum. I don't own the 700... But I know someone who does! @Tramguage1

Maybe since I tagged him, he'll chime in w/ some advice. I'm sure others will, as well.

Congrats on the new ride. Post up some pictures. Don't be shy!

Commander shocks are the BEST thing ive done to my 700-4. It will give you 2 1/2" lift withe them set on lowest setting. The ride is 100% better.

Just Googled the Fox shocks, damn there high. I would say that if you couldnt get any Commander shocks then this could be an option. Or maybe buy new Commander shocks.

I don't want to lift it anymore. Is their a shock out there that will improve the ride without lifting it?

For the 700 has to be Fox podium 1.5s. I've done hours of research on shocks after the takeover ride. FYI I have 2017 700-2 deluxe. I will not bottom out next year! I verified with the dealer that you can set the Fox shocks to factory height with the factory wheels and tires. Currently I have to keep my machine in the garage and it's a 7 foot door. I have 1 inch to spare.

Best part about the shocks are they have multiple settings. You can keep same height, raise or lower. If you keep the same height Honda will warranty all parts. Again another important feature for me since I purchased the extended warranty and verified with dealer. If you want to add aftermarket tires and rims you can get 2 inches or so out of the shocks. Won't need a body lift.

Spoke to a guy who put them on his 700-4 and he said the ride was game changing! I went to dealer today and worked out a deal for the set of 4 Fox shocks. Getting installed tomorrow and I pick up Thursday.

2nd battery install project this weekend and I will post some pics when I'm done.

Then time to ride!
