$1900 fork and $775 shock w/ Ti spring. that's my best guess.TheInedibleHulk said:
Im doing the same thing but with a boxxer wc and DHX... but now you got me thinking. How much is the Avy stuff?
11.2 advertised weight.TheInedibleHulk said:
Its more like 12.4. i haven't weighed it yet but i will.. The weight is only about 2 pounds heavier than my Shiver.Jimmy_Pop said:
the DHF uses fork guards off a Kawasaki kx85 so you should be able to find them in any color you want.Burgtec said:So did you get the black guards from Avalanche, or did you acquire them from another source? Do please tell! I think they look miles better than the white ones.
Sweet fork guards, did they come with the brake line clamp? Thats one thing I hate about the stock ones.Jimmy_Pop said:the DHF uses fork guards off a Kawasaki kx85 so you should be able to find them in any color you want.
Wow! Those guards look the ****! Are they real carbon, or am I asking a bit too much? Are those your forks Joel? So what other colours can you get?Jimmy_Pop said:the DHF uses fork guards off a Kawasaki kx85 so you should be able to find them in any color you want.
HK im pretty sure. they probably all use the same guardBurgtec said:
They are UFO guards for a KX80. The shock was designed for these guards. Its a Parts Unlimited part. Make sure you specify black when ordering at your local dealer. They are $32.Burgtec said:So did you get the black guards from Avalanche, or did you acquire them from another source? Do please tell! I think they look miles better than the white ones.

To the starter of this thread: Why did you chose the Avalanche shock with the separate reservoir as opposed to the new Avalanche piggy? Just curious.
Both versions of our Piggyback shock fit.
He also makes one with the larger reservoir, I believe the same size as the remote one..seismic said:Comparing the piggy-back and the remote resevoir, does they contain the same amount of oil ? On the pictures it looks like the piggy-back is somewhat smaller....does that have any effect on the shock ?? Just wondering ...
The Piggyback shocks all have the same Nitrogen volume, this insures that they all react the same to the shaft displacement of oil. The DHS and Woodie use a rubber bladder to seperate the oil from the nitrogen and the Chubie (Chubbie as some like to spell it, we just wanted to keep the same number of letters as Woodie and to avoid any Trademark/copyright issues) uses a floating piston to separate the oil from the nitrogen. The advantage of the bladder is an instantaneous response to oil flow without any resistance, ie the potential friction associated with the floating piston o-ring and guide ring. The advantage of the floating piston is a more compact design and the ability to set the height of the piston lower. This will cause an increased ramp up of pressure in the reservoir allowing for a more progressive feel for linear linkage designs. Also the slight resistance provided by the floating piston reduces pedal bob.seismic said:Comparing the piggy-back and the remote resevoir, does they contain the same amount of oil ?

As Craig explained, the shock shown in the picture is actually the Chubie. BUT, yes the Woodie fits as well. The oil bladder is the same size bladder that is used in the DHS. And as Craig explained to me, it uses the same Nitrogen volume, which is important..seismic said:Comparing the piggy-back and the remote resevoir, does they contain the same amount of oil ?
