You should be able to get works triples without rezzies for around $370.

they'll be alot better than stock. the shold ride alot better the only thing is they will need rebuilt more often due to fade caused by not having rezzys

I have triples with rezzies and they are ALOT better than stock. I could tell a huge difference in them. If you are not racing then you really don't have to have rezzies but if you can afford them you should get them.

Check ebay you might be able to find a used set for cheap. I bought mine used from a guy on here.

i have a set of front triple rate WITHOUT out rezzies for sale 275 shipped. they were on a 250r for 2 races and i have used them for about 2-3 hours just play riding. they are set up for a 175-200 lb rider on stock a-arms. springs are nick free and they work fine.

new these go for about 350-375 shipped.

I was just on ebay not long ago. If you type "works shocks" or "works suspension" you will get some shocks. They are all in a decent price range from what i saw.

honda 400ex 69, I have Works triple rates w/o rezzys on my 400 EX. I primarily ride fast trails and occasionally play race with my friends. If this is simialr to your riding style then the works triple rates w/o the rezzys will be good. From what I have learned is the rezzys are good for riding like mx where you are working the shock hard and heat builds up in the shock fade. I have never had this happen with mine though. If you look on here in the for sale section you can run accross some good deals. If you prefer new check with Jeff @ Quad Shop. They have good deals on both works and elka's.
