I recently went from a DR650 to a Husky 701 enduro and I've been enlightened to how much of a difference suspension makes. It changes riding so much. I'm happy to be enlightened but if/when I get another bike I think I'll have to budget for suspension before I even buy the damn thing. Ignorance is bliss. Hope things get better for you on your side of the screen man.

Video very well done! You really made it easy to understand the whole process. Great camera angles and directions! 👍

Also, understand the rough life behind the camera. Just got promoted to take on a unit that is a disaster in many ways. Worse anxiety I’ve had since Covid tried to kill me.

Nice!! I'm definitely going to have to get one one of them fancy shocks. I was bouncing rear end everywhere 😂

I hope you get a lot of views on this. Great simple video. I was able to replace mine without removing the wheel, but it takes two people. Also have to connect shock to swing arm first and then lift wheel to line up at tank, hence the need for two people. I need that shock now. Better save up. Sure wish it had been in stock when my OEM snapped.

Bradley Performance has so many toys that I'd love to mess with. That Hydraulic Clutch looks interesting. After getting my CRF, the t-dub's clutch seems so clunky! BTW, this was a top ten video by you. Editing is top-notch and the combo of garage shots and outdoor scenes made it much more interesting.

Heck yes! Currently shopping between these two shocks (Cogent). Very curious to hear how they compare as the price difference is pretty huge.

I got one of those shocks but mine is different at the mounting points, I wonder if he changed the model or something?

What tires are you using for front and rear on those dunes?

Great video... Bradley Performance does a great job on their products and Brad is top notch to deal with... One question. What brand of rear rack and side panniers are you using? Im about to make a semi-custom set from an old Tusk rack... Take care....

one of the videos you had a small air compressor, what brand, how do you like it, and how is it holding up?

the airmotos that i've seen are about $90, is that about what you paid or have you found better deals? know anything about the cheaper small compressors?

Mine was given to me but I just shared the link in another comment and it was around $90 ish. I love the thing and I believe it is definitely worth to have around

So, you're the only person that I know of that has tried both the Bradley and Cogent rear shocks. I've been holding off on upgrading until I hear your thoughts. Is the cogent worth the extra dough, or is the Bradley good enough?

Really comes down to how much seat time you put on your Dub in my opinion. Cogent was well worth it if you are always out logging miles and spending long hours on the T Dub but the bradley performance is also a great shock too once the preload is set up to your liking

@rickthomas1805 thanks man. Lucky if you go with cogent all you have to do is install and ride because they already set it up for your weight and riding style. Haven't had to mess with it at all. Unfortunately my engine needs another rebuild but I got some sources on some TW engines

@shawnmcdade7276 it's really good. I still need to adjust the preload. I bottomed out once or twice but I was coming down very hard. It feels so much better than stock and it isn't to expensive
