Hello guys,

I am in the process of doing up my Honda TRX400 FA (previous owner did some beach work). Its amazing how long it takes to get rid of rust with a paint scrapper, die grinder and screw driver without taking every part of and getting it sand blastered.

My question is, is there a place in australia which can custom make or adapt after marktet shocks to my model quad. I'm not after shocks with all the bells and whistles just to be able to manual adjust them. The stock shocks are to firm for me. I have 2 shocks up front and a single sprint at rear.

While I'm on here are there any good sites I can get other accessories for the quad such as bags for the racks and I've also seen on ATV TV in America spare fuel tanks you can carry on your font or rear racks which are really thin so don't take up much room. You can put bags ontop of them.

I realy think you might be better off contacting a quad wrecker and see what will fit from other models, getting some made up or adapted will cost you big dollars I think... Confused

some of the Suspension manufacturers do offer shocks for Ute ATV's in basic and full adjustment versions. Contact a suspension dealer like www.quadsquad.com.au or www.hardimanatv.com.au to see what is available
