Im sure Matt will get back to you. I sent him a pm a while back and it took a week or so to hear back. He seems busy, but he did get back to me and told me to hit up his site and print an order form off. Just fill it out and mail everything to him. I am having him do my shocks, everyone on here raves about the quality of his work.

Thanks, yes I did check out the site but I guess I'd have to get a full assessment on the shocks.  Based on what you guys are telling me though I'll probably pass on the shocks.  The guy won't come down off $190 for them.  Figure I'd have to throw at least 200-300 into them...not worth it when I could get steelers or elka's for @500 new.  I ride at the dunes in Michigan so it's not crazy hard riding to where I'd have to have the higher ends.  Just would have been nice if I could've picked em up for a bill.

Good call. I got your email, and was going to reply to it tomorrow when I get to the office. Anyways, you're on the right track, and the previous posts are accurate. If the MAIN spring is broken, there is likely collateral damage. I always tell people to assume shocks need to be rebuilt when you're buying them. To answer your question in your email, a set of non reservoir works shocks runs $45.00ea for a rebuild, and $17.50ea for seals. Reservoir shocks are $65.00ea plus $17.50ea for seals.

 

It's not uncommon for Works shafts to be bent. They use 1/2" shafts and where the rod end threads onto the shaft is only 3/8". It's a weak point in Works shocks, and I wish they would change them.
