I need some help here fellas. The rear shock on my 03 Recon is OK, but the spring is way weak and it darn near bottoms out when I sit on it. The quad has sort of a Cali lean when sitting on level ground instead of the proper slight forward rake also. Will a 300ex shock bolt on my Recon? I have come across a few threads that lead me to believe so, but I’d love some conformation or real world experience. I have also heard of folks using Rancher shocks? Not looking for a lot of lift, just a little and a stiffer spring.
I know, I could get a bigger quad and not have issues, but the Recon is what I own, it is all the machine I need, and I’ve taken it places the guys with the big quads couldn’t go simply due to how maneuverable it is. I also find it a blast to ride, and the 250 is darn near bulletproof with proper maintenance, which I give it. Even with my 6′ 275 lb carcass riding it, the thing never lacks power. It’s perfectly suited to how I ride, I just need to do something about the rear suspension.
