I love my 09 mx a-arms. They have more adjustments than my Gibsons did on my LTR.

well, my ds, is basically a stock 09 mx. My friend who rides in NEATV pro rode my ds, becasue he broke his axle. He funs full fox/Gibson, and last year has Fox/Walsh. He said that the only diffrence he felt in the shocks, is that they were a little too bouncy, which is fixed with rebound adjustment. Also, James Stuart runs KYB shocks on his bike.

so it sounds like ill stick with the kyb. prob do the mx upgrade cuz of the valving, and just slap on sum arms. i dont do any track ridin so i can stay away from the really primo stuff like im assuming gibson and walsh is. i think lonestar or the houser then might be the best bet. thanks guys.
