Just a thought, my sponsor is selling a set of Works tripple rates w/cans set up for 180lb. rider. They are set for +2 arms, but I was gonna run them on my stockers. They are a little more than a year old and have been recently serviced and valved. They are in very good condition.

The price is $400 + shipping. If I had the money I would be all over these babies.:o

If you want to spend a bit more money get some Elka's w rezzies. Actually I have a brand new set of elka's w piggy backs that are set up for long travel. That would get you set up right! The first time. I always say go all out if you want to win! anyway that is that, I ran them @ Ga when I was waiting for Wayne to get me my Pep's

I'd go with the Elka's. You can always add rezzies later.

Go with Elka. You'll be happy. I have econos on the front of my 400ex. They work awesome. I never found myself really wanting rezzies. I raced the Southwick National last September and talk about a rough track. I didnt happen notice the shocks fading from not having rezzies. I was trying hard and going pretty good. 5th place overall out of 36 people. (4th first moto and 5th the second moto) just to let you know I wasnt farting around in last place and I was actually trying and putting a beating on my machine.

I would go with the elka's, I love mine. And I think works stadium series are a lot higher than 520.

I have the works front shocks with rezzies, and they made a HUGE improvement over stock. I'd say get the Works shocks, you can pretty much sell them for as much as u bought them for.
