I have a new 2000 Honda Recon that I keep getting
bumped off of. If I hit a root or a rock, there are plenty of those around here, my front end goes
screwy! We have tried putting more air in and taking more air out of the tires, with no success.
Does anyone know of any aftermarket shocks that would improve the performance of my bike.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

works does make shocks with more travel for the recon www.worksperformance.com
i think it would be about 400 for front and rear works shocks

Does Fox make shocks for ATV's? I know they do for snowmobiles & motorcycles! Works shocks might be good but in my opinion $400-500 is too much on a utility quad.

I'm thinking about getting into utility class racing on my recon and getting a set of works shocks. Has anyone tried the works for a recon? What kind are they (steelers?) and what options do they have (rez, preload adjustment)?
