Ok, so I am getting older and my back is starting to suck. The old joyner trooper seats were great for their time, but can't compare to what's out there now.

I really liked the stock seats in my wife's wildcat and I was able to pick up 4 of them for $150 used. They lay back about 15 to 20 degrees more than the trooper. I also got rid of the metal plates saving about 30 to 40 lbs total (the wildcat seats are super light). They aren't adjustable, but they are easily removed by just pulling a latch in the back and lifting forward jus like many of the rzr's and wildcats out there. They are really going to save my back.

I will keep this mod in mind. I'm think I saw a video of your trooper, on youtube. If so what shocks and spring rates do you run. Any input would be appreciated.

I modified my entire suspension and my spring rates won't work for a stock set up. I have written a lot about my suspension on this forum and you should be plenty of info if you search. There are others on here that have listed spring rates that work for a stock suspension.

Jeff, I am not selling the other seats yet, but you are first in line if I do.

These seats took way more effort that it was worth to position them to an acceptable position. I already run my seat in as far back as it will go and so I had to figure out how to have them all the way back and leaned back another 20 degrees. I probably lost about an inch of leg room in doing so. They also sat higher and I had to mount them lower and removed my storage box below the drivers seat. I have to build a custom storage box now. The bonus is it will be bigger.

It still would be nice to know what you are running. As far as searching goes, there is a ton of inconclusive information. You can find bits of what people initially tried, but I've yet to find numbers on what someone runs and is satisfied with the results. Now there are a couple of posts with satisfied members running air shocks. Personally I'm not interested in air shocks. Actually I have a buggy I will be selling, but prior to selling I am removing the shocks. I have 3 pair on this particular buggy, one pair of Walker Evans (piggy back), Fox (piggy back) FOA ( remote res), so scratch the brand of shocks, what about springs rates. The rear being the most important, I would hate to buy 4 springs that won't work.

Spring rates I am running:

Front 350 over 225

Rear 550 over 550

Thank you, really appreciate the info. I know I have 2 sets of 350lb and a pair of 200lb springs. I have a pair of 600lb also, so it looks like I have some good stuff for starters. Do you remember your droop percentage?

      By rdc
      I have a 2007 Joyner 1100 sand viper and  before it even get's to where the thermostat opens up the oil pressure get's so low I have to shut it down. What could fix this ? I thought about adding an oil cooler with fan, thicker oil, or removing the thermostat. Any advice?

      2004 Joyner Dirt Devil Missing “Prick gear”
      By nrggaragebuilds
      2004 250DL DIRT DEVIL. Hey y’all, I already know this is a long shot. But I am looking for a the “prick gear” assembly that makes reverse work for my external reverse gearbox. OEM PN D250.08.103 and its assembly. I bought the kart as a basket case, but I saw that the reverse box was present so I was optimistic.  Upon starting working on the buggy I realized there was a block off plate in plate of there the normal gear would be. If my understanding is correct that means the transmission no longer has reverse gear. I figured it’s just a standard bevel gear and I could probably find a gear to make work, but I don’t want to spend the time making all the other housing parts to shim the gear perfectly. Has anyone spare parts, or figured out an aftermarket solution from McMaster? I already know it’ll be a challenge to get this box to be happy again, but figured I would ask

      Hoping someone out there somewhere can help.....2019 Massimo Buck 400S
      By AaronD1982
      Onto the next problem, everything has been replaced in the charging system except the Flywheel Rotor, I have it torn apart all the way down to said rotor, but it is suggested that a specific puller is required, and a compatible rotor seems virtually impossible to find.  I can find many like it, but this one is mine scenario for those that get the reference.  For all I know I have the last Massimo Buck 400S on the planet and will never find another part again, but who knows.  Any ideas, help or otherwise that anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.
