Almost 2000 bucks is a little more than I am willing to spit out until I hear about some real-world reviews.

Man, those are nice! Maybe if I win the lottery I'll order a set.

I'm thinking Hondasxs can offer these as a prize on one of the monthly contests:). I'm sure they would donate a set for the amount of attention and reviews they would get on this forum;)
Or maybe they could help sponsor next year's Pioneer takeover and have a couple Pioneers set up for test rides with them.

Mine aren't shipping now until Monday. I'm really anxious to see how much this can be optimized.

Any word on how these are working? I'm anxious as I've got a set of Fox that I bought for our 700 (they're still in the box) and now would like to upgrade the shocks on our 1000.
I will be installing a set Monday and running them around the local field. July 5th I will have them on the trail.
Cant wait.

I've had my shocks on for about two weeks. Noticeably better ride immediately. Mine are adjusted about halfway but I'm going to soften them up more for this weekends ride. No comparison to the stock shocks.

I would really like to upgrade the shocks, but so far the reviews on these are very limited. I am waiting for someone to be "blown away" or at least moderately exited that they spent $2,000 on these before I make the decision to buy. For that kind of money these shocks should be game changing, and people that have purchased them should be on here ranting and raving about them if they are that good. I think any aftermarket shock should improve the ride, but these should take it to a whole new level if they do what they are supposed to. " wonderful. Worked great. Absolutely zero bottoming out." and " No comparison to the stock shocks." are the only reviews I could find on these for now as they are so new. Hopefully these will be great shocks, but I am holding out until someone can convince me these are worth it.

I'm working on it... lol. Just spent 2 days on them. Give me a week to process it all and I'll have a review.

There you go, out wasting your time riding, while you could be f-ing off at work like I am typing on a computer;)

Thank you! I wasn't tying to bag on anyone, just seeking more info on a big purchase. I am ok with spending the money, as I believe suspension is the single most important component on an off road machine. I just don't want to make a mistake, and I am OK with waiting for another shock to come to market if these aren't the ticket.
