I can't download any pictures yet but here's a explanation of what I got going on.First of I got a 85 tri-z wich had pretty terrible suspension for what I was attempting to use this trike for mx and serious jumping. So I started off with the rear shock because it was the worst. I went on ebay and bought a works shock used. when it arrived it was dirty as hell so I polished it up then put her on there and took off down the road and the trails. After riding for about fifteen min or so I stopped at a friends. As I went to show him the shock I had just put on when I realized the cap on the bottom with the seal on it had come completly loose which had spewed oil all over.So I took it off, cleaned it , refilled it , and had it charged.After reinstalling it I realized the seals were bad so after checking things out I found a 03 raptor shock will bolt up and I found one for a reasonable price and bought it. Meanwhile I started to work on the forks as well. I wanted to use a some 86r forklegs I had at first and that seemed pretty feasable, but i found moose sub tank handle bars and bought em. I rebuilt my current forks and installed the sub tank handle bars which use the extra space in your bars for the volume your forks. This works great so far and so does the raptor shock. Soon I plan on having some clamps made up and putting on some inverted forks but this is still in the works.I still plan on getting the works shock fixed for a spare but I like the extra inch I got from the raptor shock. This will also help when I put on the inverted forks I could probally go 1inch higher because I'm running a 2'' smaller front tire like the 86r and tri-z. Most people who are using the inverted forks are using 85cc dirtbike one I'm going to try to get mine off of a 2500cc which seem to be about 2-2 1/2 inches bigger than mine if I can spare a inch and I have risers on my bars because they are shorter bars then I would only have to stick them up a inch or so. I also heard they may make lowering kits for forks that people use when ice racing. but i'm not to sure about this. Hopefully I can get these pics on here soon

Thanks mymint87, its almost done just waiting on a new front tire. That is a slick set up Troll. Do you have any pics of those mounted on the trike?

In the front, I've got 10wt oil, 3/4" spacers on top of the springs and one oil return hole welded shut in each damper rod. In the rear, it's the stock shock with a Works Heart Transplant.

On my 86R I have the following:
front forks have Progressive springs, 15wt oil, and Nasa forks spring adjusters.
rear shock has an Ohlins spring for 220lb rider, revalved by me for a +2 swingarm, and has a +2 Westcoast swinger with a Durable adjustable link.
It's mainly ridden on an MX track.
