Aftermarket shocks

[hawiianpwr]

I have a 2000 400ex and I want to get new front shocks for it. I'm really looking at the works triple rate shocks. I have a couple of questions though. Do I really need rezzies?, What will the difference be btween dual rate and triple rate? What kind of a difference will I see between the stock and the works shocks? Can I ad rezzies later if I want?
Thanks

Oh yeah 95% of the time I'm trail riding and some jumping.

I think the Works will be what you want. Just go with the Triple Rates, they are much better. You don't see many Dual Rates anymore. I suggest getting the Rezzies if you ride hard for a long time, but if money is short you can add them later...

depends how much money you have :D

the works are ok.......but if you can save up and get either works pro series or elkas you will be way more satisfied. i had the works tripple rates w/ rezzies and when i got my elkas i couldnt believe the difference. well woth the difference in price...and IMO well worth the wait if you need time to save up:)

what would the price range be going from the works the elkas?

[Dave400ex]

Works I think are around $550 now and the Elka's like I have in my Signature you could get around $750 right now before they make the prices increase.

see i dont know it i want to spend that much

[Pappy]

you can buy used elkas for around $400 if ya look around. same with works

[Dave400ex]

Yeah there were some Elka's in the For Sale forum not long ago that were around $550 the same as the ones that were $750 new! You could also check Ebay. Only thing you may need to do with used Shocks is have them Revalved/Rebuilt for you!
