aftermarket rear shock or re-valve........

[Glamis400ex]

Hey all,

I have a 400ex and have works triple w/ rezzie on the front. I am 205 lbs. and have the valving set for that weight, aggressive,intermediate dune rider.

I noticed last weekend that my stock rear can't quite keep up with the fronts now. Am I better off spending the few extra bux on an aftermarket rear or just having my stocker re-valved for my weight and riding style. I don't want to spend $600 on a rear shock,but if I need to spend an extra $100 getting a good used aftermarket rear, it's worth the extra $$$.

I can get the stock re-valve done here for $139 plus $80 for a heavier spring due to my weight. $240 out the door.

What do you guys think???

Thanks for any responses,

Glamis

revalved is the only way to go if you dont want to spend 5 to 6 hundred on a new shock

you should chech out a race tech gold valve..i know someone with one on his cr125 and he said it helped out

Glamis you need to call Terry at marcums on this,,,I'm sending mine to him tomorrow...he said after he does a complete rebuild,,which cost's around $250 it will handle just as good as any aftermarket shock,,that price includes,,gold series valves, maxima oil,,new spring,,etc,,etc,,,much cheaper than a new one and will work just as good,,,that is unless you plan on racing in the GNC Pro class.:D

Could Terry do this also to the set of fronts or for the price would it just be better to get a set of works w/rezzys.

the fronts are non-rebuildable

I'm sending mine in for a stock rebuild soon, its alot cheaper and performs the same. And the stock front shocks are non-rebuildable.
