Default Works shocks

Just wondering if anybody was running the works AT STELLER'S on theire raptor. I just orderd a front set and wanted to know how they were. I know any aftermarket shock is gonna be a lot better then stock. For $385 I dont think I could beat that deal.

They are worth the money and make a world of difference. Just make sure they are set up for your weight or they will be too soft/hard.

No, the works aren't the piggy's. And they are only preload adjustable. They are the tripple rate's........

Where did you order them from. What do you use your bike for. I'm all mx. Weekend's only though. I'm going to Guam in Dec, I plan on getting a yfz 450 or either the ltr 450.

Piggy backs are really only needed if you are racing all the time... they allow the shock to run cooler... when a regular shock gets hot.. it expands and doesn't dampen as well... If you are a recreation Mx'er (not a racer) then non-piggy back shocks are fine....
