great idea. real creative. only if there was enough parts to put you in buisness...
Thanks for the info. I got a Z about 4 months ago and have been restoring it. Of course the rear shock is blown, but I'm not quite ready to spend $800 on a Works Performance shock. I may give your solution a try.
Nice job! How much additional for the eibach spring and Race tech gold valve? What weight do u think stock spring is good for? Thanks
Couldn't you just use the Tri-Z shock body?
I explain more in this thread : http://www.3wheelerworld.com/showthr...ve-shock-build
But to answer your question, The Tri-Z shock body is aluminum... and 25 yrs old...AND has probably never been serviced. Basically they are usually worn beyond the point of use by now. The warrior shock body is plated steel, and will last longer than the Z body.

The Eibach springs run about $100. The race Tech Gold Valve kit runs $170. Then the seal head for $38...and then someone to build it.......you start to get up there in price, $300-$400 in to a "suped-up" stock shock. I work for a dealership, so I got all my parts at cost, and I did the dirty work of the shock disassembly myself, but I still ended up with $280 into my race teched Frankenshock. And that doesn't include the costs of the 3 doner shocks (that I actually just had laying around). As for weight on the stock spring, 160lb rider is what it was intended for, but it will work for up to a 200lb rider (cranked up).
