Ohlins or Works front shocks?

[tbrackman84]

i'm looking at buying either older ohlins shocks off a 250r or works shocks from a 400ex, i ride a 400ex, just wondering if anyone has any input on which are better, etc. they are both right aroud the same price...

We had Ohlins on our 440ex 5 years ago, awsome shock, if the price is right i would suggest them

ok this might be a goofy question,but what colors were they, i see all these ones are gold but im pretty sure the ones i'm looking at buying are something different.. lol thanks

Gold, thats why i said if there the same price, to me it would be a no brainer,

even that loks a little different, google Bill Balance & see his front shocks, thats what ours looked like 6 yera's ago. I belive Yamaha either owns them or has there hands in them now,

because ballance uses the TTX model. the shocks that come on the ktms arent the TTX model and thats why they look different to you...

well thats what ours looked like 6 years ago, besides being a nice shock, they looked great with our blue & yellow colors on the quad.
