Well, I was over in England an got my hands on the Mojo Boxxer kit, and as everyone in the Uk, RAVE'S about them, i thort i'd give em a shot.
The Cartridge is all in 1 unit, that goes in the right leg, and the mojo spring goes in the right, simple enough.

Installing them was, pretty easy, i've never stripped down my boxxers before so if i found it easy any 1 will.

Pretty much the Foxxer kit gives you a shiteload more rebound control, and the forks doesnt pack up when going threw stuters.

I think he was saying the term "RANT" in the original post should have actually been "RAVE"? As rants are usually negative?

Yeah the Mojo Kits come with the funky Fox/Mojo stickers for the lower legs (created much curiosity upon my first sight of them). Ive heard they work pretty sick, mainly regarding the performance relative to 'pre-Mojo' setups. Post-Mojo kit goes well, but still not quite up there with other forks..IMO (Damn Manitou Elitists :P hehe)

ATM Mojo are redisning the stickers to go on the outers, so i havnt got mine yet but it shouldnt be to long untill they post some of the new 1's out to me.
I paid 189 pounds, B'day money so it all good, i had a chat to them and ther thinking of importing them out to Aus soon, so they may be avialable over here.

i wouldn't mind buyin one... can u buy them directly from mojo?
Yup, that's the only way to get them right now. Turns out to be around $500 landed, which isn't bad for what they're claimed to do.
They had spoken with one .Au wholesaler about importing them, but apparently there wasn't enough money to be made by everyone to justify it... so they gave up that idea.

I bought mine straight from Mojo.
Daver, you may have to run a heavier single front spring than they current have.

Mojo Boxcart cartridge kit
"Includes spring, cartridge and fitting kit.Speed sensitive control through the whole of the stroke compression and rebound, no chance of cavitation and absolute integrity of damping, no inconsistency whatsoever. "
“What it does is completely replace the entire rebound side of the boxxer fork. Everything is taken out of this side, including the spring and is replaced with the Mojo Boxcart. The compression leg remains as it is, except it essentially only acts as a dummy leg, as only 50cc of oil is run in this leg, instead of the normal amount, the oil acts only to keep things running smooth, not to perform any dampening acts! Everything is now taken over by the Boxcart cartridge.”

It makes the Boxxer actually work!

never heard of this thing, are u supposed to put it in ANY boxxer to make it better or just the races or something?

Rik, j5ive is spot on. A rant, is more or less, some one saying negative stuff about something, which i'm sure you already know. but when i wrote that post, i admit, i was seriously sleep deprived and was unsure wether it was a mistake or not, so i meant to point it out. no harm meant.

Right,
Well afte going to Mt Buller last week end im in love with the forks, they worf faultlessly, if anyone knows the tracks on ABom which is full of braking bumps the forks just kept going as i rode threw them didnt pack up or anything, and haveing the extra rebound adjust was great, at lesat now the front end of my bike is level with the Swinger on the rear end.
If anybody wants anything answerd give me a pm.
