Where can I get my rear shock rebuilt? What type
of front shocks should I buy? I weigh 180 and ride mostly woods but also the moto x track.

I'd go with TCS. They will revalve and rebuild your rear shock and make awesome front shocks. You could probably get by with Works but if you ever decide to really get into racing, Works may not be good enough.

I had my rear revalved by tcs and have no complantes. I also ordered a set of front shocks. They are the best deal around right know as far as performance v.s. price. I ride an 86 250r on mx tracks and every jump is nice and soft. contact CT Racing for TCS shocks.

I ordered the front TCS shocks as well. They arent here yet, but from what everyone says they are the way to go!
I got mine for $750, they are zero preload and adjustable compression. The PEP zero preload are 850 or more. Works does make a ZPS shock, but its 589 and not adjustable at all.
I would go with works if you dont need adjustment and arent racing hard, TCS if you do and are. If you plan to race MX, you might consider extended A-arms as well.

I am currently running Ohlins suspension on my 86' 250R. I couldn't be happier with the fit, and finish as well as performance. They haven't bottomed yet, and they have withstood some pretty serious hits. I would highly reccomend them. If $$ is an issue you more than likely wouldn't want them. To get the fully adjustables like i have, you will have to give about $850. I agree with the last post. If you are gonna race MX i would get some wider A-Arms. Laegers make the best quality arms i have heard. I couldn't be happier with mine. I recently polished mine and they look identical to chrome. They really make the bike look better.
