THIS IS A QUESTION FOR MAGGIESBOY, ARE YOU SAYING THAT THE MIDWEST MINI'S FRONT "LONG TRAVEL" SHOCKS ARE BAD PERIOD. OR ARE THEY BAD FOR "TT" RACING, LOOKING AT THE PICTURE YOU POSTED IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR KFX 80 IS SET UP FOR "TT" RACING, I'M ASKING, BECAUSE I JUST BOUGHT THE LONG TRAVEL SHOCKS FOR MY BOYS KFX 80 BUT HE RIDES MOSTLY TRAILS AND DOES MX. I HAVEN'T PUT THEM ON YET AND YOUR RESPONSES AS WELL AS SOME OTHER QUOTES FROM OTHER RIDERS ARE BEGINNING TO MAKE ME SECOND GUESS MYSELF. I'M WONDERING IF I SHOULD MAIL THEM BACK AND JUST GET THE WORKS SHOCKS?

It is hard to go with anything other than Works. My little guy beats those shocks all the time, they are bomb proof. The extended ones, I think have too much spring. As those shocks are jumped more and more, it is going to act like a pogo stick.
That is what we want to get away from.(the stockers)

Plus the works are rebuilable. I'm getting ready to get my boy the heavier springs from them. He is right at 55 pounds with all of his gear on.

If you are in good with someone that works at a shop, ask them to do you a favor. WC has an "industry insider" program. They can get you a set of shock for a big price cut.
