If your wanting to try something different then get the Fox airfloats....natalie claims they are the best shock he has ever rode on...

i would just like to know how they can get 12 inches out of stock a-arms. its all about using number to try and confuse a customer into thinking the product is better than it really is. they just say 12 inches of travel, what travel? suspension travel or wheel travel? i bet a stock shock 450r has close to 12 inches of wheel travel

I have Black Widows on my quad, I love them. I had the triple rate top of their line last year and these shocks are way better. The biggest thing you have to do is call Works direct. Tell them exactly what you want. If you go thru another retailer your info may not be given correctly to Works and they will not send you what you need.
There is alot of diferring opinions about shocks and manufacturers, Before you decide be sure to get all of the facts right from the manufacturer. My Widows work very well, the guys at Works have been very good to me. If you call them ask for Ned or Sandy, please tell them I sent you.

Works shocks are 1239 for these

And 1139 for these

imo its cheaper to get better elkas for 895

Cool beans, after you get the Black Widow shocks, get a Black Widow engine to go with them!

The pictures that were posted were the top of the line works. I believe works and only works have twin line remote rezzies. One line is for oil going in and the other line is for oil going out. I talked to the guys from works at the atv show in louisville last october and I would definitely bvuy those shocks. Then again I buy stuff because not a lot of people have them. So since everyone else says to get elkas I say go with works
