NEED shocks! who's do I buy?
I ordered a set of Pro G 3 front & rear from Works. They have been dragging their feet and I am growing tired of waiting. I am thinking of cancelling that order and going with another company. I need a place that can custom build the rear valve since I am running a +6 swing arm. Who would you recomend? Oh ya, my stock shock is waisted & I can't ride so a speeddy turn around is key here. I appreciate any input.

MOTOWOZ! Best Suspension I have rode on desert racing. Jim (the owner) is super knowlegable and definately knows his stuff! I have them on my DS and am getting a complete set made for the Renegade.
Due to they are completely custom, turn around my be a con for you.
Highly recommend them.

went with the works. the fronts are very skinny and the triple springs are the full length of the shock. they seem to work good so far. the rear shock has a full length double spring, not as much throw as the stock but what i can see so far is that it does not need it. i will know more after sunday.

did an 80+ mile ride on sunday & let me say this... if the rear shock handles the woops at the dunes as well as the fronts sucked up the bumps this will be a FANTASTIC set up. i hit every bump, rock & hole i could find and these shocks really took the vibration out of the bars. i have not even played with the adjustments yet, just rode em the way they came. the future looks promising for them.

Do you have any pics that you can post of the new shocks? How much did they set you back? That's always a concern with our limited number of vendors for the DS. Seems we always get it stuck to us.

i will post up some pics this weekend of them. the cost was $2300.00 but this also incuded custom valving in the rear to compensate for the +6 swing arm & the rider weight. there were some cheaper shocks with piggy back resivours. the pro G 3 have dual hose reomote resivours. i have spent a lot more to get a lot less.
