i have a diamond back xsl trail, and i have had it for about 5 months i mostly trail ride "aggressively" and "free ride" if thats what you would like to call it. well anyways after beating on my bike alot i started noticing some weird noises when jumping or dropping off semi big stuff. i have found my rear shock which is a fox vanilla plane janer "stock" came alittle loose and i bent one of the bolts that holds it in. 🙁
well my question is this does anybody make stronger bolts? and i am thinking about upgrading my rear shock, something that actually dampens when i hit the big stuff. any suggestions?
A good hardware store should have (or be able to order) bolts of various grades. Or you could try talking to a car parts store, they should also have access to stuff like that.

yeah i was looking for a 7 inch rear shock. but i just bought an xts moto i am not sure what size the shock is on that but i think that this bike will hold up better for what i am doing. hopefully. thanks
