Hiram,
Are you running the stock shock on the back or did you go with Works there too.

The reason I ask is I got the front Works 3 rate too but I bought the Works non-adjustable shock for the rear and that was a mistake. I'm sending it back to get re-worked for compression and rebound adjustable res. but it's going to end up costing me as much if I had gone with the best rear shock you can get. Just thought I would give you my opinion in case you were thinking about going that way.

I put a +4 Lonestar on my bike and I love it. Looks good and I've been beating the hell outa it for about 8 months or so and no sign of cracks. I had to get a longer chain and got the stainless steel braided brake line for the heck of it but the stock one would work.

How's the difference with the turning radius with the +4 or JTM's 4.5 has it very been noticable?

Since the wheelbase is longer, the turning radius is increased. However it is MUCH easier to make U-turns under power now. So it's not very noticable.

As in bliping the throttle and sliding the rear around without worried about tiping slidways (something that happened to me yesterday while doing a quick 360[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] )
