I'm sure it would as well! A smoother ride would be nice, but I remind myself it's still a 4wheeler/off road vehicle not a Cadillac. Has anyone only changed the front shocks? I believe that would be a huge improvement by itself. I would think that would help more than the rear by their self.

I changed the fronts to Fox and left the rear load leveling shocks in for 1 ride. I never liked the rear end chatter of the load leveling shocks and it only got worse when the front end could absorb bumps. I don't miss my stock shocks

Ok that's good to know, I would have done the same thing! Then it just highlights how bad the stock shocks are huh?

Replaced both rear wheel bearings (normal wear/tear imo), it overheated on me once for no reason. I straightwired it and ran rest of weekend lol. Ive since unhooked wires and using ecm to control with no problems. I have a cure for that but havent had time to complete. Steering wheel not centered from dealer, couple loose bolts, and thats it. Got some Delton damage that wasnt machines fault. Ripped off upper control arm mount and 2 tie rods. For that kinda mileage and trails i ride, im extremely happy with it
Yea that doesnt sound bad at all to me. (Normal honda) I came from Suzuki 500 quadrunner which was an amazing engine 7000+miles never turned a bolt on the engine. But EVERYTHING else on the 4wheeler was replaced front & rear complete diffs, CV joints, all ball joints yearly. Broke frame several times, rear drum brakes were never waterproof it was poorly designed machine. So I'm looking forward to a honda thank can take the abuse and wear n tear

It has honestly held up well. It doesnt help that i ride with guys that have bigger balls than me lol. But ive never backed down from an obstacle yet. Well, except for slate rock. That sucker is straight up. Nobody else in that group tried it either. Its one of those "if something goes wrong you better be right with Jesus" type deals.

I figured they would be almost bullet proof and would go alot more miles than a 4wheeler. I hope anyway and be more comfortable and practical doing it! Haha not many ppl would say who they ride with have bigger balls than them, that's pretty good to admit that. What other kinda rides are you riding with??

I just ordered 12 off this site. They had a $4 off coupon for first time orders, and a $10 off for using PayPal. The total with shipping was $20. Don't know how long the discounts will last so get them while you can:)
Nice score man. I always buy stuff right before it goes on sale lol

Helluva good deal! We will see how they do in 19-39 days (estimated shipping time) when they finally get here, it's one of them things that takes so long I will have forgotten I ever ordered it.
