I was out riding and hitting jumps and stuff. than i hit this one jump and the front shock just busted out, first i thought i had a flat and i was like yeah this isn't that bad. but than it was a broken SHOCK! oh i was mad. now im looking for a set of shocks for my 300. i was lookint at those work shocks, are those good. i dont know which ones to chose though, theres lots of different kinds like pro series, stadium, flattrax and lots others. i dont know which one to chose i ride pretty rough terrain. thanks for your input

I've got em and I love em. I race motocross with them. Get the dual rates you don't have to get rezzies with them but they're nice to have.

I have the Works triple rates on my 400EX. The stock shocks don't even compare to them. There are a lot better shocks out there, but if you don't feel like dumping $800 or more into your front suspension, they are the way to go. It takes two weeks to get them, because they valve them to your weight, and riding style.

I got mine from Marcum's ATV 877-264-3409. He will beat any price.

I have Works triple rates on my Raptor and they have been great. I have never bottomed them out yet and I weigh between 230-240. I don't jump that huge approximately 8-10 feet high and at distances of about 30-50 feet. So as you can see they work well and like the others said Works will set them up for your weight and riding style.

I have had nothing but good luck with their customer service, they have been great in dealing with me. After having the shocks for a couple of months the paint on the springs started flaking off. When I told Works about it they said send them in and we will replace them, no questions asked.Two weeks later I had brand new srings.

I will be sending mine back in to get them revalved. I'm getting +2+1 a-arms,(another thing you might want to think about if you plan on going wider in the future) and will have them set the shocks up for mx. Hope this helps you out and good luck on your decision. Ride Hard Ride Safe.

I have Steelers with cans on the 400EX up front, and Ultracross on the back. Love both!! Setup takes some patience and experimentation, but that is half the fun! I would order DIRECT FORM THE MANUFACTURER. That way you will not get all the BS you get from middle men, a lot of whom don't know that much anyway.

Get works triplerate fronts with rezzies. Those shocks kick some major butt(not yours[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]). They are soooo soft, and they make the bike handle soooo well. Hope this helps[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img].
