any trike shocks fit on a warrior?

[vartiak15]

buddy needs a new warrior shock wondering if a z shock would work, its a 96 warrior.

i am sure a tri-z shock will work but good luck finding a good usable tri-z shock cheap. just get another warrior shock off ebay

:eek: I'm in complete awwww. If you are actually thinking about taking a rare trike part to fix a crappy(cheap) quad part, I suggest you impose a 1 week suspension from all three wheeler sites on yourself. You need some time off to think about what you did here young man. :rolleyes:

Well, if people use warrior shocks on Z's, then you can use Z shocks on warriors I suppose. The reason people use warrior shocks though is because Z shocks are hard to come by, expensive, and non-rebuildable, just look for a warrior shock.

the older warrior shcoks arnt rebuildable either. im jsut trying to find out what shocks fit so Dan Tenn dotn respond to a post if dont got an answer or an idea. how do your response help me at all? im looking at my options. i dont care if they are rare if i find one for cheep ide probly tell my friend. ok so anyone no any shocks that will work on the warrior? raptor? shee? honda shocks?

... he was just kidding you vartiak15 ....... He does bring up a good point though - in theory, its next to impossible to find a "good" Tri-Z rear shock - but there are probably thousands of good warrior shocks out there, and cheap I might add - so I would just shoot for that. If hes looking for performance, try a new Works.

ya lots of warrior shocks. how do i no if any of them are good. or if they are just like his. how can u really tell if u need a new one? he says b/c he can lift up the back a lil and it will just sag down. it wont stay. any way to really test a shock?

[Wickedfinger]

You can take it to any dealer and they will test it - the truth is - if its dampening the springs movement in both compression and rebound ... its still basically working. I would try adjusting the pre-load nut to a heavier setting to see if that helps.
