i am just amazed by the shocks... i dunno what to say... i rode for about 10 mins with them up behind my house... i was hittin little tiny jumps that i use to bottom off of now it just soaks them up and glides over it... it lowered my quad probably 2 inches up front and man the handleing is so much improved... it seems to stick in turns...

i was flyin up my trials and theres logs and roots in them and b4 u use to feel every bump, root, rock, stick, now i feel nothing with the front and the back hits it and it like wth was that haha... its so smooth!!!

bring on the 60ft doubles i am ready:eek: haha


thanks jeff... i think they are set up perfect for my weight its just amazing how nice they are... and they came here 1 week to they day:D

Are you running stock a-arms and stock axle 400EX21?

I agree. My Shocks are awesome. They seem to be setup just right. I think they are a little stiff actually so a few turns on the Compression and they should be perfect. I can`t believe how much lower it sits. I think he is right like 2 inches. Man it will be awesome once I get the Rear and set them to sit at the same level. I am very happy with them and will clean them with my 400 in a little bit. So far there is no problems. These Shocks are great.

this is killin me it won't stop raining so i can go riding!!!! I have never seen or heard of a piggyback rezzy breaking off, not even Ohilins that have been using piggybacks since the 80's. But I have seen several remote hoses get broke by branches on some Works shocks!
