new shocks without reserviors

I am looking to get some new boingers on the front of my 400. I ride in the woods mostly. Fast trail riding on some seriously bumpy and rocky trails. I want to get some plush shocks to smooth things out. Do I need reserv's? I usually ride for about an hour and then take a break.

you don't need them but if you decide at a later time you want rezzys they can be added. They real reason for rezzys is cause they hold more oil and keep it cooler which mean prolonged shock life

what are some good brands? $500 budget!

I had a 250r and i bought triple rate works and i would never buy shocks again with out reservoir its just plain not worth the money ...i was not impressed!!!! reservoirs are the key....get with Terry(marcums atv.)....he can set you up with some shocks for your budget......tell him some girl told you he knows me!! good luck Marcums is the sponsor of this site just clik on it and email him he will write you back......later
