i just got my works triple rate steelers with remote rezzies today. they are AWESOME! their softer than my stock shocks through the trails but don't bottom at all on the big jumps. i love them. got em brand new for 450. good deal huh?

 

Juggalo, lots better than stock aren't they? $450 is a common price.

 

Glad you like your improved ride jug.

BTW, Where have you been hiding lately??

 

450 for triple rates with remotes? i haven't seen that price anywhere. moto joes has em listed for 529. but yes they are waaaaay better than stock. i'll never go back to a single rate spring again. knowsalot i haven't been hidin anywhere i still check this forum multiple times every day, but i don't go through it like i used to and i haven't been repsonding as much lately. maybe thats why you haven't seen me around. i do most of my posting over at exriders nowadays i feel its a much better forum. anyways i can't wait to try these babies on the track but i have a few other repairs i have to make first since i hit a tree a few weeks back.

 

I have these shocks and love them. Even if they seem great, play with the adjustments-they might get even better!

 

i was going to but i was kind of afraid of messing them up, but i will anyways its just that i can't really ride right now cuz i have a really badly bent front rim and a rear hub.

 

Juggalo-See if you notice this with your new shocks- After I installed the Works, I noticed that the FRONT END SEEMS MORE SOLIDLY PLANTED. I think it is the supple nature of the suspension, and the front tires stick to the ground better. With a rough suspension, the tires will bounce, causing a loss of traction. But, a supple suspension does a better job of complying with the terrain, so it doesn't bounce around??????

Anyway, I have had to change the way I ride!! I don't need to sit as far forward as I did with the stock shocks. Now I can sit back and leave the front more lightly weighted, and still get great traction! This is a big advantage, because with the front light I can instantly wheelie over trail obstacles, and I am less likely to endo into a rut or something.

 

yep i noticed the same thing but i didn't really change my riding style much. but i did notice i was able to ride MUCH faster through the trails and jump way bigger than i could before. i don't know if it was from the added confidence of having aftermarket shocks or from the shocks just soaking up everything up better or a little of both but i'm definately faster now.

 

Is that like when you get new shoes? You can run faster!! JUst kidding, With the added stabiltiy of new shocks the stuff that was ruff is now SMOOTH

 

I was going to get some works soon for my 250r as soon as i sell my 300ex, but are they really good?I was going to get triple rate, zero preload?Is that a good choice for my r?Let me know. If this helps any I weigh around 100lbs[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
