Well, I am ordering the front shocks very soon. I was just wondering if anyone knew about how long the wait was. If someone could give me some information and help, I would appreciate it.

 

A wiser idea before you spend $900 on shocks would be to extend your a-arms. You dont want to put those shocks on stock width arms and still have stock travel. Go for +2 or +3 if you can, then get the shocks and youll have much more travel and handling will be 10x better. Not to mention ALOT more stable.

 

I would get +2 A-arms but for now I can't afford the A-arms. I can only get the shocks for right now. Once I can afford the A-arms, I will get them. Thanks for the help.

 

Another wise idea is to save yourself $300 or more and go with TCS shocks. They are also zero preload and rebuildable. They also have spacers that can be removed to drop your bike for TT racing which eliminates the need for lowering brackets.

 

Well, I ordered the TCS fronts yesterday. I was going to get the PEP, but I wasn't going to wait 6 months to get some shocks in. Thanks for the help.

 

hey can anyone tell me what is the phone number to the TCS shock factory ---do they make them for a kaw - tecate 1988

 

TCS actually moved away from CT Racing, the new number is (909)594-3474 I don't think that they make shocks for a Kawasaki Tecate-4. However, if Works makes them then TCS can make them because that is what TCS shocks are, just different valving. I would suggest you give Todd a call at TCS and see what he has to say about that. He is one of the nicest guys in the business and he can answer all your questions.

 

Does anyone have the PEP Standard Race fronts? If so, how do they do? They sound good from what I hear and from what I have read. Thanks.

 

I am gonna order some TCS shocks too. I hope they will do well for my MX racing. I talked to Todd and he set me up with their rear conversion, but i think i am gonna go ahead and spring for the rear. Should I?????

 

Don't forget Axis either. I don't know anything about TCS personally, but I do know about PEP rear shocks. It was very plush over small bumps but takes jumps like nothing happened. On the Axis fronts they are the perfect blend between soft and firm for me. Also the turnaround on them is excellent. I got mine in 3 1/2 weeks. And trust me they are a pro level shock. They are kind of pricey but everyone says go w/ works they're cheaper. I had works on my 300-wasn't impressed at all. I'm not trying to bash, I'm just saying for extreme riding and mx in my taste they don't cut it.
