What year model is it? The rear shock and forks could possibly be an upgrade. More importantly is checking the rear swing arm for cracks....I thought mine was ok till I looked closely and found cracks! You could ride it with the stock rear shock and forks as I am for the time being, but I am looking to upgrade to an air rear shock and air forks....see here for my Mount Vision build...

Look for cracks under the swingarm, between the pivot and the shock mounting. They tend to radiate out from the weld breather holes.

can you get them re welded?

Mine cracked around the the breather hole...you are better off getting a new swingarm if thats the case easy enough to find...

Ride it first then decide what to upgrade
