So I now have a choice.....
A. Purchase a 300EX shock off of our favorite auction site for roughly $50
or
B. Purchase a 2001 Raptor Shock for $100. The Raptor shock is a direct Bolt-on to the 300ex and therefore should work on the SX. It has to be a 2001 because that is the only year where they had a remote res on it. My feeling is the raptor shock has 3 adjustment points (preload, compression, and something else) which may be helpful in tuning it for the SX. It may also just end up being too stiff. Also, with all of those parts, it has more potential to fail over time assuming the one I receive is good.
Thoughts?
