ness Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Yesterday I ordered some Works dual rate shocks. I had two options to choose from. 1. shock set up for 150 - 190 pound rider, and 2. shock set up for 200-250 pound rider. I ordered the 200-250 pound set up. I weigh 185, and the bike has a 5.5 fuel tank. Do you think I got the right shocks? Anyone know what makes the difference between the two set ups? Thanks Quote
BenBB Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 You should be fine, your weight will likely be a little more with full riding gear anyway. The difference is in the spring rates and the valving, and it will be a big difference from stock... Quote
DUNEDEMON Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Works only has a limited number of spring rates they use, yours will be fine, a huge change from stock, you would only notice the difference between the ones you ordered and the others if you rode them back to back. Quote
ness Posted June 25, 2004 Author Report Posted June 25, 2004 Great thanks for the reassurance. I was a bit concerned that they might be a little stiff, and no adjustment available. I hope they are a noticable amount better than stock. By the way I found out you can bend the stocks ones. Quote
DUNEDEMON Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 By the way I found out you can bend the stocks ones. Been there myself manny years ago, check your a-arm bushings, if you bent a stocker chances are your bushings are history (mine were when I bent my stockers). Quote
ness Posted June 25, 2004 Author Report Posted June 25, 2004 Dunedemon, yup it wasn't only the shock that bent (shock, wheel, upper a-arm.) Oh well now I'll have new front rims with Razar 2's, and new shocks. Somehow the lower a-arm, and everything else (including the BFR) seems to have survived. Quote
