White97Banshee Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I've got a chance to pick up a set of remote res Works shocks for 300 bucks off Craigslist. The guy also has a rear for 150 but I like the way the rear shock feels anyways so I was thinking of picking the fronts up. My question is are they worth 300 bucks? What differences will I feel? I've never ridden a bike with aftermarket suspension before so I don't really know what to expect or if it's all what it's hyped up to be. Any help will be much appreciated!

SAVAGE420 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Well make sure you know at least what weight there valved for. If your 250lbs and there valved for a 150lb guy then its going to be REALLY soft. But if your 150lbs and there valved for 250lb guy its going to be stiff as cock and suck. But at the same time you Need to know if there for stock, +2 or +3 a-arms as well, or its again going to suck. If there valved and sprung perfectly to your weight, length of a-arms and riding style then it will make a world of difference for the better. Understand?

White97Banshee Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Yeah he says they are for stock a-arms and set up for a 200lb rider and I'm about 180 so I'm sure that after a little adjustment they should be fine. But I ride only in the dunes and sometimes the sand is really choppy and rough after a while will they soak up the bumps a lot better than the stockers? After a while of riding in sand like that I get really worn out. ~Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbAnyHill Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 That's a great price! Make sure the seals aren't broken! I scored mine for some $200 and gave them a good makeover, JD took care of the springs. http://www.dunercentral.com/forums/cosmetic/394-polishing-shocks.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta say I'm very impressed with your polishing! What do you use as a protective coating when you're finished? I got bored and polished my throttle cover and it looked great till I took it for a ride in Oregon.. Now It's covered in salt and it's all dull! I think I will probably get these shocks as I don't really like the way the stock ones ride in the rough stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandRageShee Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 i scored a set of new tripple rate works with rezzies for 60 bucks on craigslist out here in vegas..brand new in box and plastic wrapping.. i went from stock shocks to them and i ride dunes and trust me..how the front end used to be on choppy dunes with stiff stockers and would make the frontend jump. the works started to soak it all up..i enjoyed duning so much more.but heres my question. is the rear you are talking about stock or a works?

dirtydownunder Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 the stock shocks are soo shit man, if you get these works (if they're valved correctly) you will be so happy and you'll ride harder, faster and for longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
