P1000 Fox shocks good price

[TripleB]

Jacked up the bike to tweak it a little and I’m definitely not right. I know I need to bring the front end down because I’m about an inch higher up front than I am in the rear but that’s not my concern because I’ll adjust the fronts. What really caught my attention when I took the bike out to test ride it, the steering is very tight when when I turn and the wheel really wants to run straight. The bike doesn’t want to turn, wants to track straight. Hopefully taking an inch out of the spring compression will alleviate the problem. Anyone have any insight as to what I may be encountering? Thanks

It shouldn't have anything to do with the shocks. Maybe a bent tie rod?

I’ll check but the bike has just been sitting since before and since I changed the shocks and everything worked just fine the last time I had it out

I think I know the culprit. Along with adjusting the shocks, I also installed some pod lights and ran one of the leads along the dash on the interior top side of the steering column and the fender seemed a little tight when I bolted it back to the frame. My guess is that there my be a hydraulic line in there that got pinched, causing the steering to get tight when turning. Can anyone verify that hydraulics run behind the dash into the steering components? Thanks

Your power steering is electric.

In my experience with shocks I adjusted (but didn't keep) on the front, the more I firmed them up, the more "planted" the front wheels felt, and the firmer my steering play felt.

I don't see your front end wanting to go back to straight from steered as a real negative...

Try lightening your front shocks, see if it gets the feel you're looking for.

Good deal. I wish I would have figured the prices out on their OEM accessories a couple of years ago. Would have saved me a bunch of money.

After adjusting the shocks again, removing 3/4” of lift, I got in the machine to work the play out of them and saw that the drivetrain was in 4x diff lock! So I think that was probably the main reason that the steering wanted to return to straight so bad but I think taking the lift out was a good thing so no harm no foul

lol - ya think? That's a good forehead-slap moment for you. 4x diff lock is horrible for turning! In fact, while using 4 lock, you want to turn as little as possible...

Finally got tracking number for my fox's can't wait. I thought I was gonna piss blood Sunday when I got up from the 106 mile ride at hmt Saturday, it was brutal especially knowing I had new shocks on the way. My wife ask if she could take her spare bra out of snack bag after I get them on lol.

Order placed. $1,383 OTD delivered. Est delivery 11/19 to 11/24. We shall see.

I've actually bought quite a bit from Ron Ayers over the years (when I rode my road bikes), but didn't know about this discount on these shocks. Even with my 15% discount from the dealer where I bought the Pioneer at, it would have cost me $1,568 plus another big chunk to ship them to me or a 200 mile round trip to pick them up - so probably an easy $1620-ish or more at minimum.

Shout out to @TripleB and @Remington. Thanks!
